Summary

Bridge Creek Elementary in Elgin, SC, is a mid-sized PK-5 school within the Richland 02 district, serving 564 students in a suburban community. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking in the 42nd percentile statewide, a decline from its peak 3-star performance in 2021-2022. About 60% of students receive free or reduced lunch, and the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.1, spending $15,344 per student.

Bridge Creek’s standout strength is its exceptional performance with African American students, consistently ranking in the 74th-81st percentile over the past three years—a 4-star rating that places it well above most schools statewide. The school also shines in early mathematics: in 2024-2025, 68.9% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, beating both the district (56.5%) and state (56.3%) averages. However, a clear pattern emerges where proficiency declines in upper grades—math drops from 53.4% in 3rd grade to 44.4% in 5th grade. Science is a notable weakness, with only 39.5% of 4th graders proficient, significantly below the state average of 51.6%. On a positive note, the school showed dramatic improvement for disabled students, jumping from the 20th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 65th percentile in 2025-2026.

Compared to nearby schools, Bridge Creek underperforms high-achieving neighbors like Lake Carolina Elementary Upper Campus (73rd percentile) and Catawba Trail Elementary (70th percentile), while performing similarly to Sandlapper Elementary (35th percentile) and Pontiac Elementary (39th percentile). Its closest neighbor, Bookman Road Elementary (0.97 miles away), ranks higher (60th percentile) and outperforms Bridge Creek in 3rd-grade ELA (74.6% vs. 50%) and math (69.8% vs. 53.4%). Chronic absenteeism (17.3%) is better than the state average (22.3%) but has been steadily climbing from 4.1% in 2020-2021, a trend worth monitoring for families considering this school.

best school my two kids ever attended. Mrs Eubanks is a wonderful principal. The teachers and staff are very caring and treat you like family. This school tries to help in any way they possibly can with what limited resourses the school has available to them. Close Quote
