Summary

Green Sea Floyds Elementary is a PK-5 school in the rural community of Green Sea, SC, serving 560 students as part of the high-performing Horry 01 district. The school currently holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 75th percentile statewide, a significant improvement from just a few years ago when it sat in the mid-50s percentile. This upward trend is especially impressive given that 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch—the school consistently outperforms both district and state averages in core subjects despite this challenge.

One of the most remarkable strengths at Green Sea Floyds is math achievement. In 5th grade, 64.3% of students are proficient in math, compared to 49.1% statewide—a 15-point advantage. The school also excels with its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide for this group, a 5-star performance. When you compare it to nearby schools, the difference is striking: Loris Elementary, just 11 miles away, ranks in the 25th percentile, while McCormick Elementary (13 miles) and Creek Bridge STEM Academy (19 miles) rank in the 4th and 6th percentiles, respectively. Green Sea Floyds is clearly a standout in the region.

The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $16,273 per pupil with a favorable 12.4:1 student-teacher ratio—both better than most district peers. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 23.7% to 18.8%, now below the state average. While there is a gender gap (girls rank in the 84th percentile vs. boys in the 68th), the overall picture is one of a school that has found effective strategies for helping all children succeed, making it a strong choice for families in the area.
