Florence 05

Summary:

The Florence 05 district in South Carolina is home to three schools: Johnsonville Elementary, Johnsonville High, and Johnsonville Middle. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and face several challenges, including underperformance on academic assessments and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Among the three schools, Johnsonville High stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 120th out of 235 South Carolina high schools in 2024-2025 and achieving an 85.4% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024. The school also excelled on the Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 end-of-course exam, with 80.7% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 73.95%. Johnsonville Middle also performed well, ranking 133rd out of 320 South Carolina middle schools in 2024-2025 and achieving a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 exam.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges. All three schools had high chronic absenteeism rates of 22.5% in 2023-2024, well above the state's goal of 10% or less. Additionally, the schools generally underperformed the state averages on the SC READY and EOCEP assessments, with Johnsonville Elementary particularly struggling, with proficiency rates ranging from 37.6% to 72.2% in 3rd-5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 56.3% to 63.5%. Addressing these academic and attendance challenges will be crucial for the district to improve student outcomes.
