Summary

Lambs Elementary is a PK-5 school in North Charleston, SC, serving about 580 students within the Charleston 01 school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Lambs Elementary has faced significant academic challenges in recent years, with overall state rankings dropping from the 41st percentile in 2022-2023 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026. Proficiency rates lag well behind district averages across all subjects—for example, 4th grade ELA proficiency is 37.1% compared to the district's 68.5%, and 4th grade science is 28.6% versus 60.7% districtwide. When compared to nearby schools like Drayton Hall Elementary (93rd percentile) or Montessori Community School (93rd percentile), the gap is stark—Drayton Hall's 3rd grade ELA proficiency (85.5%) is nearly double Lambs' rate (47.6%). Even Hunley Park Elementary, located just 0.7 miles away and serving a similar population, outperforms Lambs in most subjects despite similar spending levels.

There are some bright spots worth noting. African American students at Lambs ranked in the 67th percentile statewide in 2025-2026—a remarkable 42-point improvement from the prior year—suggesting targeted interventions may be working for this group. Chronic absenteeism has also improved significantly, dropping from 35.2% in 2022-2023 to 24.6% in 2024-2025. However, male students rank in the 14th percentile, and Hispanic students rank in the 6th percentile, indicating these groups need more support. The school spends $20,944 per student—more than higher-performing Springfield Elementary ($20,743)—yet outcomes don't reflect that investment. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.5 (higher than W.B. Goodwin Elementary's 13.3), Lambs faces real challenges but also shows that progress is possible when strategies align with student needs.
