Elementary Schools in Sumter 01

Summary:

The Sumter 01 school district in South Carolina is home to 15 elementary schools serving students from grades 2-5. While the district as a whole struggles, with a 0-star rating and ranking in the bottom 10% of districts statewide, a few standout schools demonstrate that high-quality education is possible in the region.

Alice Drive Elementary is a top-performing school, ranking in the top 25% of South Carolina elementary schools with a 4-star rating. It boasts strong test scores, with 59-66% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 51-74% proficient in Math. In contrast, Wilder Elementary and Shaw Heights Elementary have impressive test performance despite being ranked in the middle of the state, with 47-51% and 43-55% of students proficient in ELA and Math, respectively.

The data reveals significant challenges for the Sumter 01 district, including high poverty rates, with all 15 schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Racial disparities are also evident, with many schools serving predominantly African American and Hispanic student populations. Addressing these equity issues and identifying the factors contributing to the success of the higher-performing schools will be crucial for improving educational outcomes across the district.
