Summary:
Zip code 29510 is served by a single elementary school, Andrews Elementary, a public school in the Georgetown 01 district that enrolls 604 students in grades PK through 5.
For parents considering this area, Andrews Elementary presents a mixed picture. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6 and spends a substantial $15,995 per student, which is a strong financial commitment. However, academic performance lags behind state averages across most subjects. In 2025-2026, 3rd-grade math proficiency was 40.8% compared to the state average of 59.2%, and 4th-grade science proficiency was just 27.3% versus 51.6% statewide. The school's state ranking sits in the bottom third, at 472nd out of 649 schools. A significant concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6%, which is notably higher than both the district (20.2%) and state (22.3%) averages. This high absenteeism likely contributes to the disconnect between the school's ample resources and its lower test scores.
There are some encouraging signs. The school shows a consistent pattern of improvement as students advance, with 5th-grade proficiency in both ELA (56.7%) and math (48.9%) exceeding 3rd-grade levels (46.2% and 40.8%, respectively). This suggests the school adds value over time, even if students start behind. Year-over-year results are volatile, however—3rd-grade ELA jumped from 35.8% to 46.2%, while 4th-grade math dropped from 50% to 40.3%. Science remains the weakest subject and needs targeted intervention. Overall, Andrews Elementary offers small class sizes and strong funding, but families should be aware of the academic challenges and the high rate of chronic absenteeism when evaluating this school.
