Summary

Jefferson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Warrenville, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 552 students. The school is part of the Aiken 01 school district, which is ranked 39 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite adequate funding and resources, Jefferson Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools over the past 10 years, with significantly lower performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 48.2% to 57%, compared to 61.2%-62.6% for the district and 61.8%-63.5% for the state. The school's performance on mathematics assessments is particularly low, with proficiency rates ranging from 21.7% to 38.1%, compared to 42%-51.4% for the district and 48.1%-56.3% for the state. Additionally, Jefferson Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 28.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

The nearby Hammond Hill Elementary, North Augusta Elementary, and Belvedere Elementary generally outperform Jefferson Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and state rankings, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch. The combination of low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high concentration of students from low-income families suggests that Jefferson Elementary may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education and supporting the diverse needs of its student population.
