Summary

Pee Dee Elementary is a public elementary school in Conway, South Carolina, serving 933 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Pee Dee Elementary has shown mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally lower than the district and state averages, except for 3rd-grade ELA where the school outperformed. The school's performance on the SCPASS Science assessment for 4th grade has also been below the district and state averages. However, the school's performance for African American and English Language Learner students has been relatively strong, outperforming the state average. Conversely, the school's performance for students with disabilities has been significantly lower than the state average.
