Cainhoy Elementary

Summary:

Cainhoy Elementary is a public elementary school in Huger, South Carolina, serving 154 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Berkeley 01 school district, which is ranked 37 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cainhoy Elementary stands out for several key factors. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (75.32%) compared to nearby schools like Howe Hall AIMS Elementary, Mount Holly Elementary, and Bowen's Corner Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, Cainhoy Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of South Carolina elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are significantly lower than district and state averages.

Despite having the highest spending per student ($20,251) among nearby schools and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, Cainhoy Elementary's academic performance remains poor. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning. The persistent low performance and racial disparities at Cainhoy Elementary highlight the need for a comprehensive and targeted approach to address these challenges and provide equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
