Summary

Crosswell Drive Elementary is a public elementary school in Sumter, South Carolina, serving 457 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Sumter 01 School District, which is ranked 67 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crosswell Drive Elementary consistently performs below the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 32.3% of 3rd graders, 33.9% of 4th graders, and 34.2% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 61.8%, 63.5%, and 62.5%, respectively. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 22.5% to 38.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Crosswell Drive Elementary struggles to support its student subgroups, ranking 342 out of 381 South Carolina elementary schools for its African American students and 593 out of 613 for its low socioeconomic status students in the 2024-2025 school year.

The nearby schools in the Sumter 01 district, such as Cherryvale Elementary, Pocalla Springs Elementary, and R.E. Davis College Preparatory Academy, also struggle academically, with similar low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. However, some schools like Alice Drive Elementary and Willow Drive Elementary perform significantly better, suggesting that there is potential for improvement within the district. Crosswell Drive Elementary spends more per student ($13,573 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, but this does not translate to better academic outcomes.
