Johnsonville Elementary

Summary:

Johnsonville Elementary is a public elementary school serving 507 students in grades PK-5 in Johnsonville, South Carolina, which is part of the Florence 05 school district. While the school has a higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges, including lower test scores, poor school rankings, and a high-poverty student population.

Johnsonville Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, with only 42.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 54.5%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school's subgroup performance is concerning, with African American and white students ranking in the bottom quarter of their respective subgroups in the state, and the performance for disabled students ranking in the bottom half of schools in the state.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Aynor Elementary and Pleasant Hill Elementary STREAM Academy, Johnsonville Elementary's test scores and school rankings are generally lower. The school also faces a high-poverty student population, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, significantly higher than the state average. To address these challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions, attracting and retaining high-quality teachers, and collaborating with community organizations to support the needs of the high-poverty student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
