Summary

Aynor Elementary is a mid-sized school in the rural community of Aynor, SC, serving 781 students in grades PK-5 as part of the high-performing Horry 01 district.

If you're looking for a school that gets strong results, especially in math, Aynor Elementary is a standout. The school's 5th graders consistently outperform both district and state averages in math—in the most recent year, 66.7% were proficient, compared to 54.3% for the district and 49.1% statewide. This isn't a fluke; the previous year saw even higher scores. The school also does an exceptional job supporting students from low-income backgrounds, with this group ranking in the 84th-87th percentile statewide in recent years. That's a strong sign that the school is effectively closing achievement gaps. One area to note is a persistent gender gap, with female students consistently outperforming their male peers by a significant margin—something to keep in mind if you have a son. While the school's overall star rating dipped slightly from 4 to 3 stars recently, and chronic absenteeism has ticked up to 17.8%, that rate is still better than both the district (19.4%) and state (22.3%) averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Aynor Elementary is a real gem. It outperforms several neighbors in the same district, including Waccamaw Elementary, Homewood Elementary, and Pee Dee Elementary. The contrast is even starker with schools in the neighboring Marion 10 district, like McCormick Elementary and Creek Bridge STEM Academy, which are located just miles away but have proficiency rates in the 20-40% range—roughly half of Aynor's. Impressively, Aynor achieves these results while spending the least per student ($13,112) among its peers. The one area that could use attention is 4th-grade science, which has been inconsistent and sometimes below district averages.
