Summary:
The 29565 zip code in South Carolina is home to a single elementary school, Latta Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking in the 300s out of 640 South Carolina elementary schools.
Latta Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions. The school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate (58.4%) is higher than the state average (63.5%), and its 5th grade ELA proficiency rate (62.5%) matches the state average. However, the school's 5th grade Math proficiency rate (52.7%) is the only one that exceeds the state average (48.1%). Notably, the school's 4th grade Science proficiency rate (35.2%) is significantly lower than the state average (49.1%).
Latta Elementary serves a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with 78.14% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school spends $11,597 per student, which is higher than the state average. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to ensure that funds are being directed towards evidence-based strategies and interventions that can improve student outcomes.
