Rosenwald Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Rosenwald Elementary/Middle is a public school in Society Hill, South Carolina, serving 130 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Darlington 01 school district, which is ranked 44 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Rosenwald has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (70%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 23.72% to 56.96% African American. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-income households. Despite relatively high per-student spending of $24,660, Rosenwald consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of South Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 399 and 599 out of 630-644 schools over the past decade. Its performance on state assessments is also significantly below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas.

While the nearby schools, such as J.L. Cain Elementary, Wallace Elementary/Middle, and North Hartsville Elementary, also serve predominantly low-income student populations, they generally outperform Rosenwald on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and resource allocation, may be contributing to Rosenwald's underperformance.
