Summary:
The Barnwell 48 district in South Carolina is home to a single middle school, Williston-Elko Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 169 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, it appears to be underperforming compared to state and district averages, particularly in Mathematics.
Williston-Elko Middle is ranked 180 out of 325 middle schools in South Carolina and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, placing it in the bottom half of middle schools in the state. The school's student population is predominantly African American (55.62%) and White (35.5%), with a significant percentage of students (52.07%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Academically, Williston-Elko Middle's proficiency rates in ELA and Math range from 32.1% to 49%, which are generally below the state and district averages of 50.2% to 53.7% in ELA and 30.2% to 38.4% in Math. These findings suggest that the school is struggling to provide effective instruction and support for its students, and may require targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for the community.
