Best Public Schools in Goose Creek, SC

Summary:

The city of Goose Creek, South Carolina is home to 14 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance, with some standout high-achieving institutions alongside lower-performing schools that struggle with student proficiency.

The top-performing schools in Goose Creek are Marrington Elementary and Howe Hall AIMS Elementary, which both rank 4 out of 5 stars on SchoolDigger and have exceptional test scores, with 60-80% of students proficient in core subjects. The lone charter school in the district, Mevers School of Excellence, also performs well compared to the district average. In contrast, schools like Sedgefield Middle and Goose Creek Elementary struggle, with only 20-30% of students proficient in English and math.

The data reveals significant disparities in the Goose Creek school system, with a clear divide between well-resourced, high-performing schools and those serving more economically disadvantaged, minority student populations. Addressing these equity issues should be a priority for the Berkeley 01 school district and the Charter Institute at Erskine.
