Summary:
The city of Chesterfield, South Carolina is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school. The data analysis reveals a mix of strengths and challenges within the Chesterfield 01 district.
Two schools stand out as top performers - Chesterfield-Ruby Middle School and Chesterfield High School. Chesterfield-Ruby Middle achieved an impressive 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 End of Course exams, significantly outperforming the district and state. Chesterfield High also performed well on several End of Course exams, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages in key subjects. In contrast, the district's elementary school, Edwards Elementary, generally performs below the state averages on standardized assessments.
Despite the district's overall lower performance compared to the state, the data reveals that the schools in Chesterfield face significant economic challenges, with all three schools having a 100% free/reduced lunch rate. This suggests the community faces substantial socioeconomic barriers that may be impacting student learning and achievement. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios across the district could be a strength, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.
