Summary

Kelly Miller Elementary is a public elementary school located in Winnsboro, South Carolina, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 201 students. The school is part of the Fairfield 01 School District, which is ranked 33 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kelly Miller Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 278 and 487 out of 619-644 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments (SC READY and SCPASS) is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 35.7% of 3rd graders, 42.8% of 5th graders, and 23.8% of 6th graders were proficient or better in SC READY Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 56.3%, 48.1%, and 39.4%, respectively. Additionally, Kelly Miller Elementary has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.3% to 24.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's low student performance, Kelly Miller Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 12.5 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby schools in the Fairfield 01 district, such as McCrorey-Liston School of Technology, Geiger Elementary, and Fairfield Elementary, which also have similar challenges with low student performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism. However, the Fairfield Magnet for Math and Science, which is also in the Fairfield 01 district, has significantly higher student performance, ranking among the top 10% of South Carolina elementary schools.
