Summary

Stono Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Charleston, SC, serving 337 students in grades PK-5 within the Charleston 01 school district.

Stono Park serves a student body where 100% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has faced significant academic challenges. In the 2025-2026 school year, it ranked in the 21st percentile statewide, a position it has consistently held for the past decade. This places it well below nearby schools like Orange Grove Charter School (98th percentile) and Harbor View Elementary (93rd percentile), both within a few miles. For example, 3rd-grade reading proficiency at Stono Park was 45.4%, compared to 86.5% at Orange Grove and 78.3% at Harbor View. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with 27.5% of students missing significant school time in 2024-2025—far higher than the 2.2% rate at Orange Grove and the state average of 22.3%.

Despite these challenges, there are some positive signs. The school spends a remarkable $28,562 per student—more than double what Orange Grove ($14,448) and Harbor View ($16,949) spend—yet results have not matched that investment. However, reading proficiency has improved across all grade levels in recent years, with 3rd-grade ELA rising from 28.2% to 45.4%. Math scores remain more volatile, particularly in 5th grade, which has historically lagged behind earlier grades. For parents considering this school, it's important to understand that while Stono Park faces significant hurdles, the recent gains in literacy suggest that targeted efforts may be starting to make a difference for its students.
