Best Public Schools in Zip Code 29822

Summary:

The 29822 zip code in South Carolina is home to a single public elementary school, Clearwater Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 370 students. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and for the upper elementary grades.

Clearwater Elementary's academic performance has declined over the past few years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 219 out of 625 in 2021-2022 to 410 out of 644 in 2022-2023. This decline is concerning, as the school serves a high-poverty community, with 100% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's diverse student population, with a relatively even distribution of White, African American, and Hispanic students, may present both opportunities and challenges in meeting the needs of its learners.

Compared to the Aiken 01 district and the state of South Carolina, Clearwater Elementary's academic performance is generally below average, particularly in mathematics and for the upper elementary grades. This suggests that the school is facing significant challenges and may require additional support and resources to improve student outcomes and ensure that all learners are receiving a high-quality education.
