Summary

Hunley Park Elementary is a public elementary school located in North Charleston, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 430. The school is part of the Charleston 01 School District, which is ranked 23 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and a significant increase in per-student spending over the past few years, Hunley Park Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with its performance on state assessments (SC READY) significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the bottom 25% of schools in the state for these subgroups. In contrast, the school's African American students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 25% of schools in the state.

Hunley Park Elementary's high chronic absenteeism rate, which is significantly above the district and state averages, may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism, such as transportation, health, or family issues, could be an important strategy for the school to improve student engagement and academic outcomes. Additionally, the school may need to examine its instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to identify and address the root causes of its persistent low performance, as simply increasing funding and resources does not appear to be driving meaningful improvements in student learning.

My two daughters have been going to Hunley Park for the past 2 years. So far I am very satisfyed with the communication, safety, and teachers. The only thing I don't like is they did not go on any field trips. There are places they can take the kids that is educational focused.

I like how the assistant princpal Dr. Duke learns every childs name and the parents too.
