Clio Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranging from 36.1% to 46.5% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 61.8% to 63.5%. The school's performance is also below the district averages in most cases. Additionally, Clio Elementary has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, which likely contributes to its academic struggles.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $18,589 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 to 1, Clio Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools over the past three school years, with rankings ranging from 560 to 569 out of 640-644 schools. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state, and the combination of low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and high economic disadvantage among the student population suggests Clio Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to the local community.
