Summary:
The city of Huger, South Carolina has only one school, Cainhoy Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 157 students. Cainhoy Elementary is part of the Berkeley 01 school district, which is ranked 36 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.
Despite being the sole school in Huger, Cainhoy Elementary's performance metrics suggest it is struggling academically. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of South Carolina elementary schools in recent years, with rankings between 581-627 out of 638-644 schools. Its test scores are significantly below state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% for the 2023-2024 school year.
Cainhoy Elementary serves a high-need, disadvantaged student population, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate. While the school receives a relatively high level of funding per student at $19,603, which is higher than the state average, it appears the resources are not effectively supporting student learning. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17:1 is slightly lower than the state average, but this has not translated to improved academic outcomes. With Cainhoy Elementary being the only school in the Huger area, families have limited choices for their children's education, which may contribute to the school's ongoing struggles.
