Summary

St. Andrew's School of Math and Science is a public elementary school in Charleston, SC, serving 769 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-rated Charleston 01 school district.

St. Andrew's is a consistently high-achieving school that ranks in the 84th percentile statewide (4 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it among the top elementary schools in its immediate area. It sits alongside other strong performers like Harbor View Elementary (93rd percentile) and Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary (88th percentile), while far outpacing nearby schools like Memminger Elementary (34th percentile) and Stono Park Elementary (21st percentile). The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are consistently above district and state averages across most grade levels. For example, 3rd-grade ELA proficiency reached 81.6%, and 4th-grade Science proficiency hit 73.1%, significantly outpacing the district average of 60.7%. The school also maintains a lower chronic absenteeism rate (14.7%) than the district (20.5%) and state (22.3%) averages.

St. Andrew's is particularly effective at challenging its highest-performing students, with Gifted and Talented students ranking 7th in the state and White students ranking 22nd. However, the school shows a significant internal achievement gap, with African American students ranking in the 56th percentile and low socio-economic status students in the 49th percentile—a decline from the 79th percentile just two years prior. The school also demonstrates strong resource efficiency, spending $18,113 per student with a 14.8:1 student-teacher ratio, compared to Mitchell Elementary, which spends $36,173 per student but ranks in the 3rd percentile. While the school's name emphasizes math and science, its math proficiency declines from 83.2% in 3rd grade to 61.7% in 5th grade, suggesting the focus yields stronger results in earlier grades. After peaking at a 5-star rating in 2023-2024, the school has seen a slight dip, but remains a rigorous, competitive option for families seeking strong academics in the Charleston area.

Open Quote We are a magnet family and very pleased with the school. The administration and staff are committed to giving our kids access to an exceptional education. I've found that, despite the math and science focus, there are ample opportunities for involvement in the arts. Close Quote
