Greendale Elementary

Summary:

Greendale Elementary is a public elementary school in New Ellenton, South Carolina, serving 303 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Aiken 01 school district, which is ranked 39 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greendale Elementary stands out for its relatively balanced racial composition, with 37.62% White, 37.95% African American, and 16.83% Hispanic students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. Academically, Greendale's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Greendale's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 44.5%, compared to 51% for the district and 53.8% for the state.

Greendale Elementary's diverse student population and significant performance gaps between student subgroups suggest that the school may be facing challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities. While African American students perform relatively well compared to other schools in the state, White students and students of low socioeconomic status perform much worse. The nearby Chukker Creek Elementary and other schools in the Aiken 01 district generally outperform Greendale Elementary on academic measures and have higher school rankings, indicating that there may be opportunities for Greendale to learn from their practices and strategies.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
