Brunson Elementary is part of the Hampton School District, which is ranked 49 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Brunson Elementary appears to be a standout school in the area, consistently ranking in the top 40% of South Carolina elementary schools over the past three school years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. Brunson Elementary has a very high percentage of students (100%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population, and the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($16,618) compared to the state average.
However, the school faces some challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. While the school's math proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state and others below, its strong performance in English Language Arts suggests the school is effectively supporting its students' literacy development. The high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio at Brunson Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's academic success, particularly in supporting its high-need student population.
