Summary:
Sangaree Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Summerville, South Carolina, part of the Berkeley 01 school district. With a diverse student population, the school faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, socioeconomic factors, and disparities in student achievement across racial and ethnic subgroups.
Academically, Sangaree Intermediate's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, with the school's performance declining over the years. In 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 47.8% to 53.3%, compared to 50.1% to 55.8% for the district and 53.8% to 57.2% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 31.8% to 39.1%, compared to 35.7% to 45% for the district and 45.8% to 54.5% for the state. This trend has contributed to the school's statewide ranking dropping from a high of 200 out of 638 schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 454 out of 644 schools in 2022-2023, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sangaree Intermediate's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and multi-racial students performing relatively better, while Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner students perform significantly worse. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.85% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the academic challenges and may require additional resources and support. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Nexton Elementary, Sangaree Intermediate generally performs worse academically, suggesting opportunities to learn from higher-performing schools.
