Summary

College Park Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ladson, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 819 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 its location, College Park Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with a 1- or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 35.4% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and just 22.8% proficient in math. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 33.2% over the past few years, much higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Carolyn Lewis School, which is only 3.68 miles away, College Park Elementary consistently underperforms, with significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and math across all grade levels. Despite the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the school's per-student spending is relatively high, suggesting that the challenges may not be solely due to a lack of funding, but rather other factors such as instructional practices, school leadership, or community engagement.
