Summary

Myrtle Beach Elementary in Myrtle Beach, SC, serves 1,066 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the Horry 01 school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the 29th percentile statewide—a stark contrast to the high-performing schools nearby. For example, 4th-grade ELA proficiency sits at 57.2%, compared to 78.9% at River Oaks Elementary and 94.3% at Palmetto Academy of Learning and Success Charter. Math scores tell a similar story: only 35.7% of 4th graders are proficient, less than half the rate at River Oaks (76%). The school holds a 1-star rating, while most surrounding schools earn 4 or 5 stars. However, there are pockets of strength. The school is notably effective with its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 52nd percentile with a 3-star rating—the only subgroup performing at or above state averages. It also shows relative effectiveness with students from low socio-economic backgrounds (40th percentile) and African American students (37th percentile).

Attendance data reveals a concerning pattern: chronic absenteeism at the nearby Myrtle Beach Early Childhood (25.1%) and Myrtle Beach Primary (20.1%) is significantly higher than at Myrtle Beach Elementary itself (15.4%), suggesting students may arrive in 3rd grade already behind. The school's performance with Hispanic students has also declined, dropping from the 28th to 21st percentile over two years. For parents considering this school, the most pressing concerns are overall academic proficiency and targeted support for male and Hispanic students. The success of the Gifted and Talented program, however, demonstrates that the school can achieve strong results and may offer a model for improving outcomes across all student groups.
