School Description and Achievements
Ruby Elementary School welcomes 285 students and 46 staff members daily. Our school is located in the small rural town of Ruby, South Carolina. With the continued decrease in small businesses in our town, Ruby Elementary is the heart of the community. We are continuing the ongoing tradition of providing a child-centered environment that challenges and nurtures our students. Through extremely hard work and dedication from our staff, students, parents, and community volunteers, many positive achievements are taking place. Parents and community involvement in the school is encouraged in many ways. Grandparents are invited to lunch for Grandparent's Day. Several members of the community are invited to share their favorite books with students during "Ruby Reads". Parents are invited to participate in events such as parenting workshops, book fairs, reading with students, as well as end of year programs and awards ceremonies. The community as a whole is dedicated to our students.
Ruby Elementary School has a proud tradition of academic excellence and student achievement. During the 2024–2025 school year, RES earned an Excellent rating on the South Carolina School Report Card and received the Palmetto Silver Award for High Performance. The school earned a Good rating for the 2025–2026 school year. Over the years, Ruby Elementary has also been recognized with multiple Palmetto Gold and Silver Awards for outstanding academic performance.
We continue to build upon these accomplishments through high-quality instruction, data-driven decision-making, and targeted interventions that support the individual needs of our students. Guided by our motto, “Whatever It Takes,” we remain committed to increasing student achievement, promoting academic growth, and preparing every student for future success.
