What stands out about Horry 01

  • Enrolment grew 5.4% here, from 44,930 students in FY2019 to 47,357 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
