Summary

Jonesville Elementary/Middle is a PK-8 school in the rural town of Jonesville, South Carolina, serving 557 students as part of the Union 01 school district.

This school is a relative bright spot within its district, consistently outperforming the Union 01 average in 14 of 16 tested areas. The most impressive statistic is in advanced math: 95.46% of students taking the Algebra 1 EOCEP exam scored proficient or higher, dramatically exceeding both the district (67.54%) and state (73.95%) averages. The school also maintains better attendance than peers, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% compared to 22.8% for the district and 22.3% statewide. However, there are areas of concern. Middle school math proficiency drops significantly, from 39.8% in 3rd grade to just 22.1% in 6th grade. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 15th percentile statewide, suggesting even the highest-achieving students may not be adequately challenged. There is also a consistent gender gap, with male students ranking in the 36th percentile statewide while female students rank in the 21st percentile—an unusual pattern since girls typically outperform boys at this age.

When compared to nearby schools, Jonesville sits in the middle of its own district, outperforming Foster Park Elementary and Buffalo Elementary (both in the 6th percentile) but trailing Monarch Elementary (40th percentile). The contrast with neighboring districts is stark: Corinth Elementary in Cherokee 01 ranks in the 78th percentile, and Pacolet Elementary in Spartanburg 03 ranks in the 73rd percentile. Notably, Corinth achieves these results while spending just $4,998 per student versus Jonesville's $13,495, suggesting that instructional quality and curriculum—not funding—may be the key differentiators. The school's performance has been stable but modest over the past decade, with one notable exception: the 2015-2016 school year when it ranked in the 74th percentile and earned 4 stars, a level of success it has never since replicated.
