Stiles Point Elementary

Summary:

Stiles Point Elementary is a highly-rated public elementary school in Charleston, South Carolina, serving 817 students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years.

Stiles Point Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outperforming the Charleston 01 district and the state of South Carolina in standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had over 80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly higher than the district's averages. The school also has a strong gifted and talented program, ranking 21st out of 82 South Carolina elementary schools in this category.

However, Stiles Point Elementary's demographics are noteworthy, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.39%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with only 16.28% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, in contrast to the higher percentages at nearby schools like James Island Elementary and Charleston Progressive. These findings raise questions about equity and access to high-performing schools within the Charleston 01 district.

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.
