Summary:
The city of Estill, South Carolina is home to two public schools - Estill Elementary and Estill Middle. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and are part of the Hampton school district. However, the data indicates that the schools in Estill face significant challenges in terms of student performance, demographics, and attendance.
Neither Estill Elementary nor Estill Middle are considered standout schools in the area, as both are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in South Carolina. Proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower at these schools compared to the Hampton district and the state of South Carolina overall.
Additionally, both Estill Elementary and Estill Middle have a 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant concern, with both schools reporting rates well above the state average.
