Summary

Homewood Elementary in Conway, SC, is a PK-5 school serving 671 students as part of the highly-rated Horry 01 school district, which ranks in the 88th percentile statewide.

Homewood is a school on a clear upward trajectory. Over the past decade, it has climbed from a 2-star rating in the 42nd percentile (2018-2019) to a consistent 3-star rating, now ranking in the 61st percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. What truly sets Homewood apart is its remarkable success with students who often face the greatest challenges. The school ranks in the 71st percentile for supporting students from low-income households and the 70th percentile for its African American students—both earning 4-star ratings. This is especially notable given that 100% of the student body qualifies for free and reduced lunch. In fact, Homewood's 5th graders outperformed both district and state averages in English Language Arts (69.7% vs. 68.1% district and 63.6% state) and Math (58.7% vs. 54.3% district and 49.1% state), showing the school is effectively preparing students for middle school. While nearby Conway Elementary ranks higher (75th percentile), Homewood holds its own against peers like Pee Dee Elementary (55th percentile) and Waccamaw Elementary (54th percentile).

However, there are areas that need attention. The most significant concern is the school's support for students with disabilities, where it ranks in just the 11th percentile—a persistent challenge over the years. Additionally, a gender gap has recently emerged, with female students ranking in the 65th percentile while male students dropped to the 50th percentile. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved from 20.6% to 18.1%, and the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4, suggesting smaller class sizes that may contribute to its success with high-needs subgroups. For parents, Homewood offers a dedicated staff that is clearly making a difference for many students, though it's worth asking about support services for boys and students with disabilities.
