Summary

Jonesville Elementary Middle is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Jonesville, South Carolina, with 593 students. The school is part of the Union 01 school district, which is ranked 59 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jonesville Elementary Middle generally performs better than the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in EOCEP/Algebra 1 and Mathematics for the Technologies 2. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.3% in 2022-2023 to 22.5% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also struggles with its white student and low socioeconomic status student populations, ranking in the bottom 25% of the state for these subgroups.

Jonesville Elementary Middle has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 159 out of 619 schools in 2015-2016 to 431 out of 640 schools in 2024-2025. While the school performs better than the other Union 01 district schools, it lags behind the higher-performing Cherokee and Spartanburg district schools, such as Corinth Elementary and Pacolet Elementary. The increasing spending per student at Jonesville Elementary Middle, coupled with its declining performance, raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the need for a closer examination of the school's budget and spending priorities.
