Summary

Crosswell Elementary is a public elementary school located in Easley, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 517 students. The school is part of the Pickens 01 School District, which is ranked 17th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Crosswell Elementary has some notable strengths, such as its effective support for homeless students, the school faces several challenges. Student performance on the SC READY assessments is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in ELA was 45.9% at Crosswell, compared to 63.5% for the district and 61.8% for the state. The school also has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 18.8% to 31.7% in recent years. Additionally, Crosswell Elementary has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Crosswell Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby McKissick Academy of Science and Technology and Forest Acres Elementary, which have higher student proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve a more socioeconomically diverse student population. While Crosswell Elementary spends more per student ($12,137 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, this does not appear to translate into higher academic achievement. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach to improve student learning and engagement at Crosswell Elementary.
