Summary

GREEN Charter School Lowcountry is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 274 students in grades K-8 in North Charleston, South Carolina. The school is part of the School Public Charter School District, which is ranked 30 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being a charter school, GREEN Charter School Lowcountry has a low statewide ranking, placing between 415-530 out of 640 South Carolina elementary schools in the past 3 years. It has a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, African American students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 25-50% of schools in the state for these subgroups. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.3% to 24.7% over the past 2 years, which is significantly above the state average.

When compared to the nearby public schools in the area, such as Bowen's Corner Elementary, GREEN Charter School Lowcountry generally performs worse on academic measures. The school's proficiency rates on the SC READY assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics are lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. This may be partly attributed to the school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which ranges from 44.39% to 76.28% over the past 3 years, much higher than the nearby public schools. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, GREEN Charter School Lowcountry spends $12,222 per student, which is lower than the nearby public schools, suggesting that the school's limited resources may be a contributing factor to its underperformance.
