Stratford High

Summary:

Stratford High is a public high school located in Goose Creek, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,653 students. 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.

Stratford High has consistently ranked in the top half of South Carolina high schools, receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams has been mixed, with some subjects like English 2 and Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 performing above the state and district averages, while others like U.S. History and the Constitution have been below. Stratford High has shown strong performance for its African American and English Language Learner student groups, ranking in the top half of South Carolina high schools in these categories, but its Hispanic and Gifted and Talented student groups have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of the state.

While Stratford High's performance is generally on par with or slightly below other high schools in the Berkeley 01 School District, such as Hanahan High and Cane Bay High, the school lags behind higher-performing schools in the neighboring Dorchester 02 School District, such as Summerville High and Fort Dorchester High, which have consistently higher rankings and better academic outcomes. Addressing achievement gaps and learning from the practices of these higher-performing schools will be crucial for Stratford High to enhance its educational 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.
