Sangaree Middle

Summary:

Sangaree Middle is a public middle school located in Ladson, South Carolina, serving 826 students in grades 6-8. While the school excels in mathematics, it faces challenges in other academic areas, particularly for its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.

Sangaree Middle consistently outperforms the Berkeley 01 school district and the state of South Carolina in the percentage of students proficient or better in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2. However, the school lags behind the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency on the SC READY assessments, especially in the higher grades. Additionally, Sangaree Middle's student group rankings on SchoolDigger are generally low, with most subgroups ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of South Carolina middle schools, particularly for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students.

Compared to other nearby middle schools, such as Gregg Middle and Cane Bay Middle, Sangaree Middle generally underperforms in terms of test scores, student group rankings, and overall SchoolDigger ratings. The high and increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the low rankings for economically disadvantaged and minority student groups, suggest that Sangaree Middle faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student 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.
