Summary:

The city of Hemingway, South Carolina is home to two elementary schools: Pleasant Hill Elementary STREAM Academy and Hemingway Elementary. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are located in the Georgetown 01 and Williamsburg 01 school districts, respectively.

Based on the available data, Pleasant Hill Elementary STREAM Academy appears to be the standout school in the area. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency across multiple grade levels. It also has a higher SchoolDigger rating, with 4 out of 5 stars, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.4 compared to 14.4 at Hemingway Elementary. Additionally, Pleasant Hill Elementary STREAM Academy spends significantly more per student ($16,059) than Hemingway Elementary ($8,301).

Both schools face challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates of 22.5% and 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. However, Hemingway Elementary struggles with lower proficiency rates, particularly in Math, where only 15.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in 2024-2025. The significant funding disparity between the two schools may contribute to the performance gap, and addressing the unique needs of high-poverty schools is crucial for improving student outcomes in the Hemingway area.
