Summary

Wallace Gregg Elementary is a public elementary school in Florence, South Carolina, serving 333 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Florence 01 School District, which is ranked 26th out of 75 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's overall performance, Wallace Gregg Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has faced significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-income households. When compared to other nearby schools in the Florence 01 district, such as Royall Elementary and Carver Elementary, Wallace Gregg Elementary is clearly underperforming.

However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American students and low-socioeconomic status students, is more promising, suggesting that the school may be doing a better job of supporting these students compared to the general student population. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a high spending per student, which could indicate a commitment to supporting student learning. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as attendance, resource allocation, and instructional practices, will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Wallace Gregg Elementary.
