Summary:
The Fairfield 01 school district in South Carolina is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools in the district, with the Fairfield Magnet for Math and Science standing out as the top-performing elementary school in the area.
The Fairfield Magnet for Math and Science consistently ranks among the best elementary schools in the state, with significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages, particularly in math and science. In contrast, Kelly Miller Elementary and Fairfield Elementary appear to be the lower-performing schools in the district, lagging behind on test scores and having high chronic absenteeism rates.
Across the district, all 5 elementary schools have 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. The schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which are well above the state average. While per-student spending and student-teacher ratios vary across the schools, addressing these attendance and resource allocation issues could be key levers for improving academic performance in the Fairfield 01 district.
