Summary:
The city of Huger, South Carolina has only one public school, Cainhoy Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Berkeley 01 School District. With a total enrollment of 154 students, Cainhoy Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in South Carolina over the past three years, indicating significant academic challenges.
Cainhoy Elementary's student population is predominantly African American (75.32%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (10.39%), white (8.44%), and other racial groups. The school has a high percentage of students (100%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a community with significant economic disadvantages. Despite spending $20,251 per student, which is higher than the district average, the school's test scores are significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
While Cainhoy Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, which could be a strength, the school's persistent low performance indicates that simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges. Addressing the needs of the school's socioeconomically disadvantaged student population and improving instructional practices will likely be crucial in improving academic outcomes at Cainhoy Elementary.
