Summary

Jefferson Elementary in Warrenville, SC, is a PK-5 school serving 572 students in the Aiken 01 district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Jefferson Elementary is currently the lowest-ranked school among all 10 nearby elementary schools in its district, holding a 1-star rating and ranking in the 13th percentile statewide for 2025-2026. This marks a decade-long decline from its 2015-2016 ranking in the 36th percentile. Academic proficiency rates are dramatically below district and state averages across nearly every subject and grade level. The most striking gap is in 4th-grade math, where only 19.6% of Jefferson students are proficient—less than half the district average and nearly 33 percentage points below the state average. Fifth-grade math (23.3%) and 4th-grade science (23.5%) show similarly concerning results. Even compared to Clearwater Elementary, its nearest comparable school just 1.85 miles away, Jefferson underperforms in most subjects, particularly in upper-grade math. Meanwhile, Hammond Hill Elementary, just 6.8 miles away, ranks in the 92nd percentile with proficiency rates often 30-50 percentage points higher.

Several factors make this situation particularly noteworthy. Jefferson spends $12,643 per student—higher than several better-performing schools in the district, including Graniteville Elementary ($10,525) and Byrd Elementary ($11,143)—indicating that funding alone is not the issue. Chronic absenteeism (25.1%) matches the district average but doesn't explain the performance gap, since schools like North Augusta Elementary have similar rates yet outperform Jefferson. The school's Hispanic student subgroup ranking has collapsed from the 66th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 3rd percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting a critical need for enhanced English Language Learner support. The sharp decline in math proficiency between 3rd and 4th grade—a 25-percentage-point drop—points to a systemic issue with how foundational math skills are built upon in upper grades.
