Mullins High

Summary:

Mullins High is a public high school in Mullins, South Carolina, serving 557 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Marion 10 school district, which is ranked 75th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mullins High faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (72.71%) than surrounding schools, which range from 29.71% to 80.10% African American. Academically, Mullins High consistently underperforms the state and district averages on End-of-Course (EOCEP) exams, with only 31.58% of students proficient or better in Algebra, compared to 41.13% in the Marion 10 district and 72.5% statewide. As a result, Mullins High has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of South Carolina high schools, with a ranking of 221 out of 235 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite these challenges, Mullins High has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from a low socioeconomic background. The school spends $14,855 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Green Sea Floyds High, Aynor High, and Marion High, which generally perform better academically and have higher school rankings. While Mullins High faces significant challenges, the higher spending per student and smaller student-teacher ratio (15:1) suggest that the school has resources that could potentially be leveraged to improve academic outcomes.

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.
