Elementary Schools in Georgetown 01

Summary:

The Georgetown 01 school district in South Carolina is home to 10 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, student demographics, and resource levels, with some standout successes as well as campuses facing significant challenges.

Among the highest-performing elementary schools in the district are Waccamaw Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 25% of South Carolina elementary schools, and Pleasant Hill Elementary STREAM Academy, which also performs exceptionally well, particularly in 4th and 5th grade. The public Coastal Montessori Charter school also stands out with its unique Montessori-based curriculum and strong academic results.

In contrast, several high-poverty schools in the district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, struggle with much lower academic outcomes. For example, 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency ranges from 76.5% at Waccamaw Elementary to just 29.6% at Sampit Elementary. Addressing these disparities and providing equitable resources will be crucial for improving educational opportunities for all students in the Georgetown 01 district.
