Summary

Andrews Elementary is a public school in Andrews, SC, serving 604 students in grades PK–5 within the Georgetown 01 school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

While the school currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the bottom third of South Carolina elementary schools, there are some encouraging signs hidden in the data. The most striking finding is the strong academic growth students show as they move through the grades. In 5th grade, math proficiency reaches 48.9%—actually exceeding the district average (43.7%) and nearly matching the state average (49.1%). This is a remarkable 33-point improvement for the same group of students since 3rd grade. Similarly, 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency (56.7%) approaches the district average (58.8%). This suggests that while students may start behind their peers, the school is effective at accelerating learning in the upper elementary grades. The school also serves male students relatively well, ranking in the 30th percentile statewide, though female students (19th percentile) and students with disabilities (7th percentile) need more targeted support.

The biggest concern for parents is chronic absenteeism, which has climbed to 26.6%—the highest among all comparable schools in the district, including Pleasant Hill Elementary STREAM Academy (17.1%), McDonald Elementary (19.4%), and Maryville Elementary (20.5%). This attendance crisis is likely a primary driver of the school's overall ranking. However, the comparison with Pleasant Hill—located just 19 miles away and serving a similar demographic—shows that significantly better outcomes are possible. Pleasant Hill's 4th grade ELA proficiency is 86.9% versus Andrews' 49.4%. The school spends $15,995 per student, higher than the state average, so resources are available. The path forward involves tackling absenteeism head-on, replicating the successful 5th grade math strategies across all grades, and providing extra support for female students and those with disabilities.
