Summary:
The 29107 zip code in South Carolina is home to two schools: Hunter-Kinard-Tyler High School and Hunter-Kinard-Tyler Elementary School, both of which serve a predominantly African American student population from a high-poverty background. Unfortunately, neither school appears to be a standout performer, with both ranking in the bottom tiers of their respective state-wide categories.
Academically, the schools in the 29107 zip code struggle, performing significantly below state and district averages on standardized tests. The highest proficiency rate at Hunter-Kinard-Tyler High School was just 83.33% in EOCEP English 2, still below the state average of 85.83%. This pattern of low academic achievement is consistent across all subject areas and grade levels. Despite relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the schools in this area face significant challenges in improving educational outcomes for their students.
The student population in the 29107 zip code is also notably lacking in diversity, with African American students making up the vast majority of the enrollment at both schools. This lack of racial and ethnic diversity may impact the educational experiences and opportunities available to students. Addressing the underlying issues that contribute to the consistently low performance of these schools will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach involving stakeholders at the school, district, and community levels.
