Summary

Midland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Galivants Ferry, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 664 students. The school is part of the Horry 01 school district, which is ranked 9 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midland Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of elementary schools in South Carolina, with a strong academic performance that exceeds the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's performance is especially noteworthy for its support of diverse student subgroups, including female, male, low socioeconomic status, and disabled students. In fact, Midland Elementary ranks 1st out of 174 South Carolina elementary schools for its performance with disabled students in 2022-2023. However, the school's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates are a concern that may impact student learning and overall school outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools in the Horry 01 district, such as South Conway Elementary, Kingston Elementary, and Pee Dee Elementary, Midland Elementary consistently outperforms these schools on state assessments, particularly in mathematics. The school's per-student spending is also generally higher than the nearby schools, which may contribute to its strong educational programs and student support.
