Summary:
The 29353 zip code is home to a single public school, Jonesville Elementary Middle, which serves grades PK-8 and has 593 students. The school is part of the Union 01 school district, which is ranked 59 out of 75 districts in South Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Jonesville Elementary Middle appears to be a mixed-performance school, with some areas of strength but also significant room for improvement. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages in certain subject areas, such as EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, where it scored 95.46% proficient or better compared to 67.54% for the district and 73.95% for the state. However, in other areas like 4th-8th grade math, the school's scores are much lower than the district and state averages.
The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is concerning and may be contributing to the lower performance in some subject areas. Additionally, the school spends more per student ($11,874) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.7) than the state average, suggesting it may have additional resources and support, but this does not seem to be translating to consistently strong academic performance across all subject areas. Addressing attendance issues and identifying strategies to improve math instruction could be key priorities for the school.
