Summary

Bowen's Corner Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hanahan, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 762 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.

Bowen's Corner Elementary consistently performs above the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates for grades 3-5. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 69.8% of 3rd graders, 70.6% of 4th graders, and 73.8% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 59.2%, 61.6%, and 60.9%, respectively, and the state's 61.8%, 63.5%, and 62.5%. In Mathematics, Bowen's Corner Elementary had 64.5% of 3rd graders, 51.9% of 4th graders, and 53.2% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the district's 49.4%, 47.1%, and 40.2%, and the state's 56.3%, 53.7%, and 48.1%. The school's 4th-grade Science proficiency rate of 50% is also higher than the district's 45.1% and the state's 49.1%.

While Bowen's Corner Elementary is a strong-performing school, it faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has ranged from 11.3% to 33.2% over the past few years, and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients increasing from 21.75% in 2021-2022 to 36.35% in 2023-2024. To address these issues, the school could consider implementing targeted interventions and support programs, exploring opportunities to increase funding and resources, and collaborating with the district and neighboring schools to share best practices. Nearby Howe Hall AIMS Elementary, a public magnet school within the same district, consistently outperforms Bowen's Corner Elementary in academic proficiency rates, while Hanahan Elementary, another public school in the same district, performs significantly lower across all subject areas.
