The city of Galivants Ferry, South Carolina is home to two strong-performing schools within the Horry 01 school district: Aynor Middle and Midland Elementary. Both schools have consistently ranked in the top 25% and 15% of their respective grade levels in South Carolina, earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
Aynor Middle has an enrollment of 747 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.2, while Midland Elementary has 664 students and a ratio of 15.4. The schools demonstrate strong academic performance, outpacing state and district averages on standardized tests across multiple grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the similar per-student spending levels of $12,253 at Aynor Middle and $12,136 at Midland Elementary indicate an equitable distribution of resources within the district.
However, both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates of 55.96% at Aynor Middle and 55.42% at Midland Elementary. This may contribute to the concerning chronic absenteeism rates of 22.5% at both schools, which can negatively impact student learning and outcomes. Despite these challenges, the schools' consistent rankings and ratings over the past 3 years demonstrate a commitment to maintaining and improving educational quality for the students of Galivants Ferry.
