About Clarendon County School District
Clarendon County School District is the public school district assigned to zip code 29148 in Summerton, South Carolina. Serving students from Pre-K – 12th, this district is the primary public education system for families living in and around zip code 29148. The sections below cover the district’s resources, scale, rating, and everything families need to know about enrollment and school assignment.
Why This District Is Not Yet Rated
Clarendon County School District does not currently have a SchoolDistrictFinder rating. Our ratings are based on state assessment proficiency data (reading and math) published in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2017–18 school year), and this district does not yet have sufficient reported proficiency data to calculate a reliable score. This is common for very small districts, special-purpose or charter agencies, and newly reorganized districts.
An unrated status is not a negative signal — it simply means we don’t have enough assessment data to place Clarendon County School District on the 1–10 scale yet. Families researching this area should contact the district directly for school performance information, request the most recent state report card, and visit schools in person before making a housing or enrollment decision based on zip code 29148 data.
Enrollment for Families in Zip Code 29148
Children in zip code 29148 are assigned to Clarendon County School District for public school enrollment, covering grades Pre-K – 12th. School assignments are address-specific — your elementary, middle, and high school placements depend on your exact street address within zip code 29148, not just your neighborhood. Two homes on opposite ends of the same zip code may be assigned to different schools within the same district.
To confirm your specific school assignments, contact Clarendon County School District at (803)435-4435 or visit www.clarendoncsd.org/. Typical enrollment documents include proof of residency (lease or deed plus a utility bill), your child’s birth certificate, current immunization records, and prior school records. If your child has an IEP or 504 plan, bring that documentation to enrollment — South Carolina districts are required to continue services within a reasonable period. Fall enrollment windows typically open in late winter or early spring; contact the district for exact dates and required steps.

District boundaries, school assignments and phone numbers are updated annually when NCES publishes new data, typically in spring; per-pupil spending comes from the US Census Bureau's Annual Survey of School System Finances, released about two years after the fiscal year it covers. Always verify your specific school assignment and enrollment requirements directly with Clarendon County School District before making any housing or enrollment decision based on zip code 29148 data.
