Summary:
The Florence 02 school district in South Carolina contains a single elementary school, Hannah-Pamplico Elementary/Middle, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school excels on the EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 exam, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better, its overall academic performance on other standardized tests lags behind state and district averages.
Hannah-Pamplico Elementary/Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 43.8% to 55.2% and in Mathematics from 19.5% to 45.7%, compared to state averages of 56-63.5% and 32.4-56.3%, respectively. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100%, suggests it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the challenges it faces in supporting student learning and achievement.
Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is a significant concern and may be a factor in its overall academic performance. While the school's small student-teacher ratio of 14.5 and per-student spending of $12,019 are positive indicators, the school's leadership and community will need to focus on improving attendance and addressing the academic gaps in core subject areas to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
