Summary

Horrell Hill Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hopkins, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 589. The school is part of the Richland 01 school district, which is ranked 52 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horrell Hill Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. Its student group rankings, including female, male, and low socioeconomic status students, are also consistently low, performing in the bottom half of schools. However, the school's African American student group performs slightly better, ranking in the bottom third to bottom half of schools. Horrell Hill Elementary also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 31.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on the SC READY assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels.

When comparing Horrell Hill Elementary to nearby schools within the same district, it performs significantly worse than higher-performing schools like Rosewood Elementary and Brockman Elementary, which have much higher proficiency rates and rankings. Despite the school's consistently low performance, there are signs of potential for improvement, as the African American student group performs better relative to other student groups, suggesting that with the right interventions and support, the school may be able to improve outcomes for all students.
