Rosenwald Elementary & Middle School

Located in the community of Society Hill, SC on the northern end of Darlington County, the Rosenwald School houses students from Pre-K through 8th grades. Situated on a 12 acre sloping site the school fronts Church St. and parents and buses utilize the same drives to access the site. Buses are parked on the site towards the back. To assist in parent pickup/drop-off a drive was created around the rear of the school; this creates a hazard for students going to the playground. Due to ongoing septic issues, land across Church Street was purchased in 2005 for a septic drain field. The sanitary sewer is now pumped across Church Street to this new septic tank drain field.

The school consists of five (5) distinct buildings with two of the buildings connected: the Offi ce/Cafeteria building stands alone; the Media Wing is connected to the Gym Building (they both have associated classrooms) and are connected by an enclosed corridor; and the Six Classroom Wing shares a covered walk with the Music Room. These buildings have ages ranging from the mid-1950’s with the newest addition being occupied in 2006. Limited renovations also occurred during the summer of 2006. Although covered walks connect the buildings, security, inclement weather and energy effi ciency are all compromised. Additionally, the sloping site creates ADA accessibility issues.

As of the 2019 Facility Study Update the current enrollment is around 155 students with a staff of 30.
