Summary

Brockington Elementary Magnet in Timmonsville, SC, serves 329 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Florence 01 school district. The school currently holds a 0-star rating and ranks in the bottom 5% of elementary schools statewide, a decline from the previous year.

One of the most significant challenges facing Brockington is a chronic absenteeism crisis. In the 2024-2025 school year, 44.5% of students were chronically absent—nearly double the district rate of 26.4% and more than double the state average. This is dramatically higher than nearby schools like Royall Elementary (15.1%) and Delmae Heights Elementary (15.6%). Interestingly, just two years prior, Brockington's absenteeism rate was only 2.5%, suggesting a recent and significant disruption in student attendance. Academically, the school struggles most in upper grades—4th grade math proficiency is just 16.9% compared to the district average of 51.1%, and 4th grade science proficiency sits at 17.3% versus the district's 48.2%. Even 3rd grade ELA, the school's strongest subject, reaches only 40.8% proficiency compared to 63.6% districtwide.

Despite these challenges, Brockington spends more per student ($17,377) than many higher-performing neighbors, including Royall Elementary ($15,720), which achieves 89% ELA proficiency. The school also maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.7:1. A brief improvement in 2024-2025—when ELA proficiency rose to 45.3% and math to 44%—was not sustained, suggesting that intervention efforts haven't been fully institutionalized. For parents considering this school, the combination of high spending, low outcomes, and a recent spike in absenteeism points to attendance and family engagement as critical areas needing attention. The school's 100% free/reduced lunch population indicates significant economic need, and while the school has shown capacity to serve its African American students effectively in recent years, overall academic performance remains a serious concern.
