Nevitt Forest Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (62.39%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 13.02% to 44.32% African American students. However, the school has consistently lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 44.3% in ELA and 55.8% in Math, while the district and state averages were higher.

While Nevitt Forest Elementary's African American students perform better than the school's overall performance, they still lag behind the state's African American student performance. The school's low-income students also perform significantly lower than the state's low-income student average. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $12,480 in the 2022-2023 school year, it continues to underperform academically compared to the district and state averages. Nearby schools, such as North Pointe Elementary and Midway Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance and state rankings, suggesting that Nevitt Forest Elementary has room for improvement in addressing the unique needs of its 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.

Open Quote I am a graduate of Nevitt Forest Elementary; albeit from the late 1970s. How did this once wonderful school descend to its current status - ie.. one of the worst-ranked public elementary schools in South Carolina and with a population of about 97% receiving free lunch? This was once a wonderful, strong middle class school in a safe, clean and beautiful part of Anderson. It was an idyllic place in the 1960s - 1980s. How sad it has come to this! 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.
