Summary

C. E. Murray Elementary is a public elementary school located in Greeleyville, South Carolina, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 114 students. The school is part of the Williamsburg 01 school district, which is ranked 57 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

C. E. Murray Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (86.84%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 24.59% to 93.57% African American students. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in state assessments, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 42.4% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 57.2% statewide. In mathematics, only 36.4% of 4th-graders were proficient or better, compared to 51% statewide. However, the school's African American students perform relatively better compared to other schools in the state, ranking 165 out of 369 South Carolina elementary schools in English Language Arts and 160 out of 394 in the previous year.

The nearby schools, such as Kenneth Gardner Leadership Academy, Greeleyville Primary, and Dr. Rose H. Wilder Elementary, also struggle academically, with most of them ranking in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools. This suggests that the academic challenges faced by C. E. Murray Elementary are not unique but rather a broader issue within the region. Additionally, C. E. Murray Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (97.37%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
