At Allendale Elementary School, we are proud of our rigorous academic programs. These programs prepare our students to meet the high standards set forth in the South Carolina State Standards. In addition to challenging our students academically, we teach our children a sense of responsibility and wise decision-making skills through our PBIS/House program. For many years, Allendale Elementary School has included deep-rooted traditions, and extra-curricula student activities and student assistance programs.??? We were not able to provide student activities to the extent that they were offered pre-Covid, however we are certain that these strong relationships and programs will continue next year. The academic performance of our students has shown improvement as evidenced by iReady assessments, TE21 Benchmarks, and other performance-based measures. To meet the needs of our student body, we provide a strong curricular program enhanced by regular, high quality professional development experiences for the staff. The continuation and expansion of the district K-5 reading program and the continued implementation of academic support through our instructional assistants are all showing positive results. Furthermore, literacy instruction has been strengthened through the implementation of quarterly writing benchmarks that have been created for each grade level in order to drive effective instruction. This has been a valuable tool to enhance instruction as we strive to meet the individual needs of our learners. With talented, dedicated, and caring faculty directing these proven instructional programs, the students of Allendale Elementary School continue to be well served.
