Summary

Logan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Columbia, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 221. 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.

Despite its challenges, Logan Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 25% of South Carolina elementary schools in 2015-2016 to the middle 50% in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments (SC READY) is generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA). However, the school's performance in Mathematics lags behind the district and state. H. B. Rhame Elementary and A. C. Moore Elementary, two nearby schools, have also shown stronger performance in Mathematics compared to Logan Elementary.

Logan Elementary has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.3% to 31.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the district and nearby schools, suggesting that the school is allocating significant resources to support student learning. By focusing on addressing chronic absenteeism and improving its Mathematics instruction, Logan Elementary can continue to make progress and better serve its students.

My daughter started this year and I'm amazed at the growth I've seen in her during the first half of the school year. The school is very challenging. The arts program is probably tops in the state. The choirs are better than many high schools in the State. All school staff and teachers are very accessible and willing to put in the extra effort to see their students excel. In 5 years this school will be in the top 10 in the state. Close Quote
