Summary

Berkeley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 635 students. The school is part of the Berkeley 01 school district, which is ranked 36 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Berkeley Elementary, the school faces significant challenges in academic achievement, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are well below the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population, with rankings for female, male, African American, and low-socioeconomic status students all in the bottom 25-30% of South Carolina elementary schools. Additionally, Berkeley Elementary has high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, which likely contribute to its academic struggles.

In comparison, the nearby schools in the Berkeley 01 district, such as Devon Forest Elementary, Nexton Elementary, and Carolyn Lewis School, generally outperform Berkeley Elementary in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. Addressing the challenges at Berkeley Elementary will require a comprehensive approach to improving instructional practices, student support services, and resource allocation at the school.
