A. L. Corbett Middle

Summary:

A. L. Corbett Middle is a public middle school located in Wagener, South Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 208. 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.

A. L. Corbett Middle has a relatively diverse student population, with 43.75% White, 40.38% African American, and 6.25% Hispanic students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of South Carolina middle schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance on state assessments, such as SC READY and SCPASS, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. The school's 100% free and reduced-lunch rate indicates that the student population comes from predominantly low-income households, which likely contributes to the academic challenges.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Aiken Intermediate, Batesburg-Leesville Middle School, and Frances F. Mack Intermediate, A. L. Corbett Middle generally performs worse on state assessments, particularly in mathematics. However, the school has shown some promise in its 6th-grade SCPASS science assessment performance. By addressing the underlying factors contributing to its challenges and leveraging its strengths, A. L. Corbett Middle has the potential to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for its diverse student population.

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.
