Sedgefield Middle

Summary:

Sedgefield Middle is a public middle school located in Goose Creek, South Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 986. 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. However, Sedgefield Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina middle schools, with a current ranking of 298 out of 325 schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sedgefield Middle's diverse student population includes a higher percentage of African American (35.29%) and Hispanic (32.66%) students compared to the state average, with a lower percentage of White students (22.21%). The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across various subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 29.2% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 53.7%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades were 9.7%, 12.3%, and 7.4%, respectively, which are all well below the state averages. Sedgefield Middle's performance on state assessments is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of South Carolina middle schools for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, and in the bottom 20% for African American students and students with disabilities.

Comparing Sedgefield Middle to nearby schools in the Berkeley 01 district, such as Sangaree Middle, Hanahan Middle, and Westview Middle, highlights the opportunity for Sedgefield Middle to learn from and emulate the practices of higher-performing schools. Additionally, the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio suggest that resources alone may not be the primary driver of academic success, and a more comprehensive approach to school improvement may be necessary.

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.
