Hendersonville Elementary

Summary:

Hendersonville Elementary is a public elementary school serving 342 students in grades PK-5 in Walterboro, South Carolina. The school is part of the Colleton 01 school district, which is ranked 74th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hendersonville Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 71.05% African American, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 29.03% to 51.39% African American. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of South Carolina elementary schools, with academic performance on state assessments well below the state and district averages. Additionally, Hendersonville Elementary has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-socioeconomic status households, a higher rate than the surrounding schools, which range from 100% to 51.4% free/reduced lunch.

Despite spending more per student ($15,806 in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding schools ($12,455 to $16,533 in 2022-2023) and having a lower student-teacher ratio (15.5:1 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby Whale Branch Elementary, Cottageville Elementary, Bells Elementary, Fennell Elementary, Northside Elementary, Forest Hills Elementary, and Black Street Early Childhood Center (13.8:1 to 16:1 in 2022-2023), Hendersonville Elementary's academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to address the root causes of its underperformance.

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.
