Summary:
The city of Johnsonville, South Carolina is home to three public schools: Johnsonville Elementary, Johnsonville High, and Johnsonville Middle, all of which serve the students of the Florence 05 school district.

While the schools generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, there are some bright spots, such as Johnsonville Elementary's relatively strong performance in 4th-grade English Language Arts, with 72.2% proficiency compared to the state average of 63.5%. Overall, the Johnsonville schools appear to be facing a combination of academic and socioeconomic challenges that will require targeted interventions and support to address.
