Summary

Duncan Chapel Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving 583 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.

Academically, Duncan Chapel Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics around 45-50%, significantly lower than the district and state averages of 70% and 55-62%, respectively. Compared to nearby schools like Stone Academy and Summit Drive Elementary, Duncan Chapel performs worse, but better than lower-ranked schools like Westcliffe Elementary and Berea Elementary.

The school has a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, Duncan Chapel Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.9% to 29.3%, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these challenges suggest that Duncan Chapel Elementary may face deeper systemic issues that require a more holistic approach to support its diverse student population and improve academic outcomes.
