Summary:
The Dillon 03 district in South Carolina has only one elementary school, Latta Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 636 students. Based on the available data, Latta Elementary has consistently performed below the state average in academic achievement, particularly in Mathematics and Science proficiency.
Latta Elementary has been ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools over the past three years and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all lower than the state averages, with the largest gap in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 78.14%, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, which may be contributing factors to the academic challenges faced by the school.
To address these issues, Latta Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions, strengthen its curriculum and instructional practices, and provide additional support and resources for its students. Addressing the school's academic and non-academic challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach to improve student outcomes and raise the school's overall performance within the state.
