Summary

Redcliffe Elementary is a public elementary school in Aiken, South Carolina, serving 610 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Redcliffe Elementary has faced academic challenges in recent years, with 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger in 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025. The school's performance is particularly low in areas like chronic absenteeism, which ranges from 24.7% to 28.7%, significantly higher than the district and state averages of around 22.5%. Redcliffe's test scores on the SC READY assessments are also consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Redcliffe's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 53.5%, compared to 61.2% for the district and 61.8% for the state.

When comparing Redcliffe Elementary to nearby schools in the Aiken 01 district, such as Millbrook Elementary and Belvedere Elementary, it is clear that Redcliffe is underperforming academically, despite serving a similar student population in terms of socioeconomic status. The school's high per-student spending of $11,643 in 2023-2024 suggests a commitment to supporting its students, but the data indicates that more targeted interventions and strategies may be needed to address the root causes of the school's underperformance and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

Redcliffe has been a breath of fresh air. Wonderful staff works hard at being successful. Children are good to each other. Nice building in great location. Should you need it , there is a helping hand at every turn. You will just about every morning find the assistant principal outside in drop off area. Car line is very functional. Lots of interaction between parents and teachers. I can't say enough!!! Close Quote
