Redcliffe Elementary

Summary:

Redcliffe Elementary is a public elementary school in Aiken, South Carolina, serving 631 students in grades PK-5. The school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students. However, Redcliffe Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the Aiken 01 district and the state averages.

Redcliffe Elementary's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 298 out of 643 schools in 2018-2019 to 453 out of 638 schools in 2023-2024. The school's academic measures vary significantly among different student subgroups, with African American and White students consistently performing below their respective statewide averages. Additionally, the school's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students perform significantly worse than the state average for this subgroup.

Despite Redcliffe Elementary's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance remains below the district and state averages. This suggests that simply increasing resources may not be enough to drive significant improvements. The school and district will need to take a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the declining performance, significant disparities in student group outcomes, and the unique needs of the high-poverty student population at North Augusta Elementary, Millbrook Elementary, and other nearby schools.

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.

Open Quote Redcliffe has been a breath of fresh air. Wonderful staff works hard at being successful. Children are good to each other. Nice building in great location. Should you need it , there is a helping hand at every turn. You will just about every morning find the assistant principal outside in drop off area. Car line is very functional. Lots of interaction between parents and teachers. I can't say enough!!! Close Quote

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.
