What stands out about McCormick 01

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +43.1% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing South Carolina's statewide +21.3% by 21.8 points, a growth rate faster than 97% of the 67 South Carolina districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 699 to 582 students (16.7% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up. Districts on that path are usually holding staffing steady against a falling roll, which lifts the per-teacher figure without anyone getting a raise, so read this page's salary estimate alongside the enrolment line rather than on its own.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $26,313 is among the highest in the nation.
