Summary

Whitesville Elementary is a large PK-5 public school in Moncks Corner, SC, serving 1,239 students within the Berkeley 01 school district, where about two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Over the past seven years, Whitesville's overall state ranking has dropped significantly, from the 65th percentile to the 32nd percentile. The school's most pressing academic concern is math, where proficiency rates run 10 to 20 points below state averages across all grade levels. For example, only about 39% of 5th graders are proficient in math compared to roughly 49% statewide. Reading performance is comparatively stronger, sitting just 5 to 7 points below state averages. Chronic absenteeism is also a challenge, with about 1 in 4 students missing significant instructional time—a rate above both district and state averages. When compared to nearby schools, Whitesville sits in the middle of the pack. Top performers like Cane Bay Elementary and Nexton Elementary achieve math proficiency rates 20 to 30 points higher, while Devon Forest Elementary and Moncks Corner Elementary rank below Whitesville.

There are some bright spots worth noting. Hispanic students at Whitesville perform exceptionally well, ranking in the 50th percentile statewide—a strength that suggests effective programs for this group. However, the school struggles most with its economically disadvantaged students, whose performance has declined sharply in recent years. Interestingly, per-student spending has increased 23% over the past few years to about $12,500, yet outcomes have not improved—a pattern that suggests instructional quality and school culture, rather than funding alone, are the key drivers of success. For parents considering this school, the priorities to watch are math intervention efforts, attendance initiatives, and whether the school can replicate its success with Hispanic students across other groups.
