Summary

Sampit Elementary is a public elementary school in Georgetown, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 283 students. The school is part of the Georgetown 01 School District, which is ranked 48 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sampit Elementary consistently performs below the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 30.6% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 56% for the district and 61.8% for the state. Similarly, in mathematics, only 10.2% of 3rd graders were proficient or better, compared to 42.8% for the district and 56.3% for the state. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 25.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Sampit Elementary struggles academically, some of the nearby schools in the Georgetown 01 School District, such as Waccamaw Elementary and Kensington Elementary, perform significantly better on standardized tests and have higher school rankings. Sampit Elementary has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from predominantly low-income households, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges and high chronic absenteeism. Despite the school's efforts and resources, Sampit Elementary has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance or school ranking over the past several years.
