Summary:
The city of Andrews, South Carolina is home to three public schools: Andrews Elementary, Andrews High, and Rosemary Middle, all of which serve the Georgetown 01 school district. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between these schools, with Andrews Elementary performing the best, followed by Andrews High, and Rosemary Middle lagging significantly behind.
Andrews Elementary has relatively high proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to the district and state averages, especially in 4th and 5th grades. However, the school's overall statewide ranking is low, placing it in the bottom third of South Carolina elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, which is concerning. In contrast, Andrews High has very low proficiency rates on End-of-Course exams, significantly underperforming the district and state averages. Despite this, the school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 85.4% and a low dropout rate of 2.3%.
Rosemary Middle has extremely low proficiency rates in ELA and Math, with most grades scoring well below the district and state averages. Interestingly, the school had 100% proficiency on the Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 End-of-Course exam, which is an outlier compared to its other test scores. All three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates and 100% of their students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. The schools spend between $14,318 and $15,641 per student, which is relatively high compared to state averages, and have relatively low student-teacher ratios ranging from 10.5 to 12.2 students per teacher.
