Best Public Schools in Eutawville, SC

Summary:

The city of Eutawville, South Carolina has only one school, St. James-Gaillard Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with academic performance that is well below the Orangeburg district and South Carolina state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

St. James-Gaillard Elementary has a predominantly African American student population (78.3%) and a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite higher per-student spending and relatively small class sizes, the school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking of 485 out of 638 South Carolina elementary schools suggest that simply allocating more resources may not be enough to address the underlying issues.

The school's low academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, raises concerns about equity and the educational opportunities available to its students. Further investigation into the root causes of these disparities and the implementation of targeted strategies to improve student outcomes could be beneficial for the Eutawville community.
