Summary

Johnsonville Elementary is a public elementary school located in Johnsonville, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 588 students. The school is part of the Florence 05 school district, which is ranked 34 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Johnsonville Elementary faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism and achievement gaps for various student subgroups. The school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 14.8% in 2020-2021 to 22.5% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates around 40-45% in ELA and 35-40% in Math, compared to the state averages of around 60-65% and 50-55%, respectively. While the school's ranking for disabled students is relatively higher than its overall ranking, it struggles to support other student subgroups, with its rankings for African American, White, and Low Socioeconomic Status students in the bottom 25-30% of the state.

Interestingly, Johnsonville Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the analysis, such as Aynor Elementary, Pleasant Hill Elementary STREAM Academy, and Hannah-Pamplico Elementary/Middle, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better support for student subgroups. However, the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are in line with or slightly better than the nearby schools, suggesting that resource allocation may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance.
