Summary

Marrington Elementary is a highly-rated public school in Goose Creek, SC, serving 449 students in grades PK-5 within the Berkeley 01 school district. This school is a consistent academic standout, holding a 4-star rating and ranking in the 80th percentile statewide, which places it well above most elementary schools in South Carolina.

What truly sets Marrington apart is its exceptional performance in the upper elementary grades. While many schools see scores dip as students get older, Marrington does the opposite. In the most recent school year, 84.6% of 4th graders and 86.1% of 5th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to district averages of 65% and 61.4%. The math results are even more striking—72.1% of 5th graders are proficient, which is more than double the proficiency rates at nearby Boulder Bluff Elementary (35%), Westview Elementary (41.2%), Hanahan Elementary (34.2%), and Goose Creek Elementary (30.3%). While Howe Hall AIMS Elementary remains the top performer in the area, Marrington is a clear second-tier leader that vastly outperforms its other neighbors. The school also shows particular strength in serving its female students, who rank in the 82nd percentile statewide.

Marrington achieves these results efficiently, spending $13,699 per student—less than several lower-performing schools in the area. For example, Boulder Bluff Elementary spends $14,657 and A. C. Corcoran Elementary spends $20,324, yet both rank far below Marrington. The school also benefits from a strong attendance culture, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 18.2%—lower than the district (23.9%) and state (22.3%) averages. While Marrington was once a 5-star school in the mid-2010s, it has stabilized at a very high level, making it a dependable and cost-effective choice for families seeking academic excellence in the Goose Creek area.
