Summary:

Conway Elementary is a public elementary school located in Conway, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 559. The school is part of the Horry 01 School District, which is ranked 9 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Conway Elementary has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more balanced than some nearby schools like Forestbrook Elementary and River Oaks Elementary. The school has shown strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are generally higher than the state averages. However, there are some disparities in the performance of different student subgroups, with the school's ranking for African American students and students with low socioeconomic status being lower than its overall ranking.

Compared to nearby schools in the Horry 01 district, Conway Elementary generally performs well academically, but some schools like Forestbrook Elementary and River Oaks Elementary have higher overall rankings and stronger performance in certain subject areas. The relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio at Conway Elementary may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, but further investigation is needed to understand the relationship between these factors and student outcomes.

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.
