McColl Elementary/Middle School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools for the past three years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. However, the school's strongest performance is in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, where 100% of students were proficient or better, compared to 60.15% for the district and 73.95% for the state.
The school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% and a student population that is 100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite spending $14,253 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a student-teacher ratio of 13.1, which is slightly lower than the state average, the school's performance issues suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific learning needs of its students.
