Elementary Schools in Chesterfield 01

Summary:

The Chesterfield 01 school district in South Carolina is home to 9 elementary schools serving grades pre-kindergarten through 6th. These schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 181 to 532, and all have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage in the student population.

Among the standout schools in the district, McBee Elementary stands out for its strong performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Plainview Elementary, a smaller school with 181 students, also has some of the highest proficiency rates, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and 6th grade Mathematics. Additionally, Jefferson Elementary has seen significant improvement in its state ranking, moving from 0 stars in 2022-2023 to 2 stars in 2023-2024.

However, the data also reveals significant challenges faced by the elementary schools in the Chesterfield 01 district. All schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, and there are large gaps between the schools' proficiency rates and the state averages, particularly in Mathematics. Additionally, some schools show inconsistent performance across grade levels, suggesting potential issues with curriculum alignment or instructional practices. Addressing these challenges and leveraging the strengths of the higher-performing schools will be crucial for improving outcomes for all students in the district.
