Whitesville Elementary

Summary:

Whitesville Elementary is a public elementary school in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, serving 1,031 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.

Whitesville Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 45% White, 28.9% African American, 16.1% Hispanic, and 9.21% two or more races. However, the school's performance has been declining in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 223 out of 624 South Carolina elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 430 out of 644 in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well but White students and students with disabilities struggling. Whitesville Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the district and state averages, with the most significant gap in 5th-grade Mathematics.

Compared to some nearby schools, such as Nexton Elementary and Cane Bay Elementary, Whitesville Elementary's performance is generally lower. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Whitesville Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools. Additionally, Whitesville Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which likely contributes to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
