Westview Elementary

Summary:

Westview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Goose Creek, South Carolina, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 560 students. The school is part of the Berkeley 01 School District, which is ranked 37th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westview Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 47.5% White, 19.46% African American, 19.64% Hispanic, and 12.32% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in SC READY/English Language Arts and Mathematics, has been mixed compared to the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, Westview Elementary's proficiency rates were lower than the district and state in both subjects and grade levels, with the largest gaps in 5th grade Mathematics (22.7% vs. 45.8% state). Additionally, Westview Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 52.86% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby Howe Hall AIMS Elementary, which had only 20.1% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Westview Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 108th out of 639 South Carolina elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 477th out of 638 in the 2023-2024 school year, placing the school in the bottom quarter of elementary schools in the state. This decline in academic performance, combined with the school's diverse student population and high percentage of low-income students, suggests that Westview Elementary may face unique challenges and resource needs that require targeted support and interventions to address the achievement gaps and improve student learning outcomes.

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.
