Summary:
The 29541 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Dewey-Carter Elementary and Savannah Grove Elementary, both of which serve predominantly low-income communities with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the schools have some differences in their student demographics, they face similar challenges in academic performance, with both schools struggling to meet state and district proficiency levels on key assessments.
Academically, Dewey-Carter Elementary has a lower statewide ranking compared to Savannah Grove Elementary, but both schools perform below the Florence 01 district and state averages on English Language Arts, Math, and Science assessments. Despite relatively high per-student funding and small class sizes, the schools have not been able to consistently improve student outcomes over the past few years.
The data suggests that the 29541 zip code area is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Further investigation into the root causes of the academic struggles, as well as targeted interventions and long-term strategies, may be necessary to help these schools better serve their communities and improve student performance.
