Summary:
The 29822 zip code in South Carolina is home to a single public elementary school, Clearwater Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 352 students. The school is part of the Aiken 01 school district, which is ranked 39 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Clearwater Elementary does not appear to be a standout school in the region, with a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 408 and 471 out of around 640 elementary schools in South Carolina over the past few years, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the district and state averages, with the exception of 3rd grade Math, where the school's scores are higher. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, which is above the state average.
Despite the school's challenges, it spends $12,658 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2. However, the fact that 100% of Clearwater Elementary's students receive free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage, which can impact educational outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Clearwater Elementary is a struggling school that faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and economic disadvantage, and may require targeted interventions to improve its outcomes.
