Summary

Armstrong Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving 415 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Greenville 01 School District, which is ranked 11th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a high-performing district, Armstrong Elementary faces significant challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics around 50% and 40%, respectively, compared to the district's 70% and 60% proficiency. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and English Language Learners. Additionally, Armstrong Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.9% to 24.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Stone Academy, A.J. Whittenberg Elementary, and Summit Drive Elementary, significantly outperform Armstrong Elementary on academic measures, with proficiency rates that are 20-40 percentage points higher. These higher-performing schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and serve a more socioeconomically diverse student population. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, Armstrong Elementary continues to struggle to meet the needs of its student population.
