Richland 01


Summary:

The Richland 01 school district in South Carolina encompasses 47 schools, including 29 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 8 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population and exhibits a wide range of academic performance across its schools.

Several schools stand out in the district, with Brennen Elementary, Crayton Middle, and Dreher High consistently ranking among the top schools in the state. These high-performing schools demonstrate that exceptional academic achievement is possible within the district. In contrast, schools with high percentages of low-income students, such as Hyatt Park Elementary, Alcorn Middle, and C.A. Johnson High, struggle to meet proficiency targets and have the lowest ratings in the district.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics differing by as much as 40-50 percentage points. This suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, highlighting the challenges faced by high-poverty schools. However, the district also boasts exceptional schools like Rosewood Elementary and Brockman Elementary, which demonstrate that high-quality education is possible even in a district with significant socioeconomic disparities.
