Summary:
The Florence 05 school district in South Carolina contains one elementary school, Johnsonville Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 507 students. This school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 61.54% White, 29.19% African American, 3.75% Hispanic, 0.39% Asian, and 5.13% two or more races.
Academically, Johnsonville Elementary's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 41.2% to 61.8% in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's science scores are particularly low, with only 23.1% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better. Compared to the Florence 05 district, Johnsonville Elementary's performance is mostly on par, with a few exceptions where the school's scores are slightly higher or lower.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, Johnsonville Elementary appears to have relatively high per-student spending of $12,513 and a low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, suggesting that the district is allocating additional resources to support the students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, indicating that the challenges it faces may be persistent and require further investigation into the specific strategies and interventions being implemented to address the performance gaps.
