Carvers Bay Early College and Career High

Summary:

Carvers Bay Early College and Career High is a public high school in Hemingway, South Carolina, serving 376 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Georgetown 01 school district, which is ranked 44 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carvers Bay Early College and Career High faces significant challenges, with consistently lower academic performance compared to state and district averages on End-of-Course (EOC) exams. The school's proficiency rates in Algebra 1, English 1, and U.S. History are well below the state averages, and its African American and White student subgroups rank in the bottom half of all South Carolina high schools. Despite having the highest spending per student ($17,662 in 2022-2023) among nearby schools, Carvers Bay Early College and Career High has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently ranks in the bottom half of the state's high schools, significantly lower than the nearby Waccamaw High, which has a 4-star rating and ranks in the top 25% of the state.

The school's 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate indicates that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic struggles. However, the nearby schools, such as Socastee High and Waccamaw High, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance and school rankings, despite serving more diverse student populations. This suggests that factors beyond racial composition, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and resource allocation, may play a crucial role in student outcomes, and addressing the underlying factors contributing to Carvers Bay Early College and Career High's underperformance could be a path forward for improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
