Summary

Greeleyville STEAM Academy is a small, rural elementary school in Greeleyville, SC, serving 222 students in grades PK-4 within the Williamsburg 01 district. The school has shown remarkable progress over the past several years, climbing from the bottom 7% of South Carolina schools in 2018-2019 to the 31st percentile in 2025-2026—a gain of 154 positions that has earned it a 2-star rating.

One of the school's standout strengths is its performance with its African American student population, where it ranks in the 62nd percentile statewide and has consistently earned 3 stars for three consecutive years. The school also excels in early-grade mathematics, with 3rd graders achieving 56.1% proficiency in 2025-2026, well above the district average of 41.8%. When compared to Kenneth Gardner Leadership Academy, the other elementary school in the district, Greeleyville outperforms it in nearly every subject and grade level, including a significant 18.7-point advantage in 3rd grade math. The school also maintains a lower student-teacher ratio (12.8 vs. 13.6) and a better chronic absenteeism rate (24.2% vs. 25.4%).

Despite these strengths, parents should be aware of some challenges. The school has experienced a dramatic drop in 4th grade performance, with math proficiency falling to just 18.5% and science proficiency at only 10.5%—a 41-point gap from the state average. Chronic absenteeism has also been volatile, spiking to 35.7% in 2022-2023 before settling at 24.2% in 2024-2025. The school's per-student spending has increased dramatically to $28,236, which is 70% higher than the next highest-spending nearby school, Dr. Rose H. Wilder Elementary. While this investment may be driving improvements, the inconsistent results across grade levels suggest the school is still working to fully realize its STEAM designation and turn its resources into consistent academic gains for all students.
