Oakwood-Windsor Elementary

Summary:

Oakwood-Windsor Elementary is a public elementary school in Aiken, South Carolina, serving 431 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.

Oakwood-Windsor has a diverse student population, with 41.76% White, 17.17% African American, 32.95% Hispanic, and 8.12% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the Aiken 01 district and the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in 3rd grade ELA (36.5%) and 5th grade Math (25%) were significantly below the district and state averages. Oakwood-Windsor has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance also varies significantly by student subgroup, with White and male students performing worse than their Hispanic and female counterparts.

Oakwood-Windsor's challenges are likely exacerbated by its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is a key factor that contributes to the school's academic struggles, which are also reflected in its lower rankings compared to nearby schools in the Aiken 01 district, such as Warrenville Elementary, Aiken Elementary, and Chukker Creek Elementary.

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.
