Best Public Schools in Shaw A F B, SC


Summary:

The city of Shaw A F B, South Carolina is home to two elementary schools, Shaw Heights Elementary and High Hills Elementary, both serving students in the Sumter 01 school district. While neither school stands out as a top performer, the data provides insights into the challenges they face in serving their predominantly low-income, African American student populations.

Both schools have relatively low statewide rankings and ratings, indicating they are not among the highest-performing in South Carolina. Test scores at both schools are consistently below the state average, with High Hills Elementary particularly struggling, with only around 30-50% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The high poverty levels, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to these academic challenges.

Funding disparities may also play a role, as Shaw Heights Elementary spends $1,506 more per student than High Hills Elementary. While the student-teacher ratios are similar, the difference in per-student spending suggests potential inequities within the Sumter 01 district. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach to improve teaching and learning outcomes for the students in Shaw A F B.
