Summary:
The 29570 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, McColl Elementary/Middle School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance compared to state and district averages.
McColl Elementary/Middle School has ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with only 17.6% to 64.4% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to state averages of 48.1% to 73.95%. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (100%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 and higher per-student spending of $14,253 may be positive factors that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes.
Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% and the inconsistencies in performance across grade levels could be key focus areas for the school and the Marlboro 01 district to improve overall educational outcomes for the students in this community.
