Summary:

The city of Loris, South Carolina is home to two elementary schools: Loris Elementary and Daisy Elementary. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Based on the available data, Daisy Elementary appears to be the stronger of the two schools. It has a higher 3-star statewide ranking from SchoolDigger, outperforms Loris Elementary on most academic measures, and has a slightly lower chronic absenteeism rate. However, both schools lag behind the Horry 01 district and the state of South Carolina in terms of student proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Despite the performance gap between the two schools, they both face significant challenges in addressing academic achievement, attendance, and socioeconomic factors. Addressing these issues will likely require a collaborative effort involving the schools, the district, and the local community.
