Summary:
The city of Clio, South Carolina has only one public elementary school, Clio Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 200 students. The school is part of the Marlboro 01 school district, which is ranked 73rd out of 75 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Clio Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools over the past few years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has been declining, from 560th out of 644 South Carolina elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 569th out of 640 in 2024-2025. Student academic performance is well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas tested, and the school has a high rate of chronic absenteeism at 22.5%.
Despite the school's low academic performance, Clio Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 and higher-than-average spending per student at $18,589. However, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, as 100% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch. These factors suggest that the school may need to implement comprehensive improvement strategies to address the academic challenges faced by its students and support their success.
