Summary

Cane Bay Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Summerville, South Carolina, serving 1,226 students in grades PK-4. 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.

Cane Bay Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of elementary schools in South Carolina, with a statewide ranking between 94-142 out of 640 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (SC READY) is significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Cane Bay's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 73.8%, compared to 59.2% for the district and 61.8% for the state. Cane Bay's performance is particularly strong for specific student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, where the school ranks among the top 5-20 elementary schools in the state.

Cane Bay Elementary outperforms the nearby schools in the Berkeley 01 district, such as College Park Elementary, Foxbank Elementary, and Whitesville Elementary, on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. However, Cane Bay's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than these nearby schools, which may be an area of concern. Carolyn Lewis School, another nearby school, also demonstrates strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and Algebra 1, but has a lower overall statewide ranking compared to Cane Bay.
