Best Public Schools in Johnsonville, SC

Summary:

The city of Johnsonville, South Carolina is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Johnsonville Elementary, Johnsonville Middle, and Johnsonville High. These schools face significant challenges, with all three having 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating very high poverty levels in the Florence 05 district.

Despite these challenges, Johnsonville Middle School has shown improvement, moving from 206th out of 310 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 120th out of 325 in 2023-2024 and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Johnsonville High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina high schools, ranking 162nd out of 235 in 2023-2024 with a 2-star rating.

The racial makeup of the Johnsonville schools is predominantly White, with a significant African American minority, which may indicate potential equity issues that should be further investigated. While the schools have relatively high spending per student, ranging from $11,288 to $12,894, the efficient allocation and utilization of these resources could be an area for improvement to address the academic struggles, particularly at the high school level.
