Summary:

The city of Calhoun Falls, South Carolina is home to a single elementary school, John C. Calhoun Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This high-poverty school, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, is well-funded, spending $20,905 per student and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 to 1.

John C. Calhoun Elementary's academic performance has been mixed, with 4th-grade students outperforming the Abbeville 60 district and the state of South Carolina in English Language Arts, but 5th-grade students underperforming in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has been ranked between 212-248 out of 638-644 South Carolina elementary schools over the past 3 school years, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low statewide ranking, the data suggests that there are areas where the school is performing well, such as the 4th-grade English Language Arts scores. This could indicate opportunities for the school to build on its strengths and implement strategies to improve performance in other areas, potentially benefiting the predominantly low-income student population it serves.
