Best Public Schools in Zip Code 29525

Summary:

The 29525 zip code in South Carolina has only one public elementary school, Clio Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 206 students. This school is struggling academically, ranking 566 out of 638 South Carolina elementary schools and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clio Elementary's student population is predominantly African American (73.79%), with high poverty levels as indicated by 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 28.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 53.8%.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $17,209 and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1, Clio Elementary has not been able to improve its academic outcomes over the past three school years. This suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively allocate and utilize its resources to support student learning and achievement. Significant interventions and support may be needed to help Clio Elementary better serve its students and community.
