Summary:
The city of Eastover, South Carolina has only one school in the data set - Webber School, an elementary school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 190 students. Webber School is part of the Richland 01 school district, which is ranked 53 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Webber School has a diverse student population, with 67.89% African American, 15.26% White, 6.84% Hispanic, and 10% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance on state assessments is consistently below the district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 37.9% (4th grade) to 51.5% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 57.2% (4th grade) and 55.7% (5th grade). The school's performance on the SCPASS Science assessment for 4th grade in 2022-2023 was also below the district and state averages, with only 20% of students proficient or better compared to 46.6% statewide.
Despite the high per-student spending of $23,786 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, Webber School serves a student population with a very high percentage (100%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. The data suggests that Webber School could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, curriculum, and resource allocation to identify areas for improvement and better support its students' academic growth.
