Cane Bay Middle consistently outperforms the Berkeley 01 school district and the state of South Carolina in academic assessments, with 95.61% of students proficient or better in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, compared to 66.37% for the district and 72.5% for the state.

While Cane Bay Middle outperforms the Berkeley 01 district and the state, some nearby schools in the Dorchester 02 district, such as Rollings Middle School of the Arts, also demonstrate exceptional academic performance.

While Cane Bay Middle is a high-performing school, it could still focus on improving the academic outcomes for certain subgroups, such as White students and Gifted and Talented students, where the school's rankings are lower compared to other subgroups.

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.
