The 2023-2024 school year was driven by promoting academic growth in students. Our Title I school continued to work toward meeting the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs of our students. Programs such as Be Great Academy and the after school tutoring provided additional support to achieve academic success. 

Highly qualified, hard working educators carried out the mission and vision of Blaney daily to ensure rigorous instruction aligned to the South Carolina College and Career Ready Curriculum Standards.

Professional learning committees made strategic instructional changes through data disaggregation to deliver appropriately leveled instruction to each student by setting goals, progress monitoring, and celebrating student successes. Teachers continued to enhance their teaching acumen through professional development that is offered throughout the year. These training sessions informed and refocused our educators with knowledge of best teaching practices and collaboration opportunities. 

Blaney Elementary School’s success is only possible with the support of an involved, vocal School Improvement Council, active PTA volunteers, and generous business partners. The Wildcat Family is blessed to have incredible stakeholders to help them develop into responsible, lifelong learners that contribute to society.

Blaney worked toward achieving the school-wide goals for the 2023-2024 school year which included: focus on comprehensive communication and partnerships with stakeholders, strengthening tier 1 instructional strategies in all subject areas to improve academic achievement, and continuing to participate in the state department's CLI (Collection Leadership Initiative) program to foster leadership among all staff members at Blaney Elementary.
