Summary

Gallman Elementary is a public elementary school in Newberry, South Carolina, serving 435 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Newberry 01 School District, which is ranked 32 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Gallman Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools over the past five years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science lag behind the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade ELA proficiency rates were 44.1%, 57.2%, and 63.6%, respectively, compared to the district's 52.4%, 56.8%, and 53.5%, and the state's 61.8%, 63.5%, and 62.5%.

Gallman Elementary also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 24.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. While the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are in line with the district and state, the stark contrast in performance between different student subgroups suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the unique needs of its diverse student population. Collaboration with neighboring schools and the district could help Gallman Elementary leverage resources and strategies to drive student success.
