Rosenwald Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Rosenwald Elementary/Middle is a public school in Society Hill, South Carolina, serving 130 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Darlington 01 school district, which is ranked 44 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Rosenwald has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (70%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 23.72% to 56.96% African American. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-income households. Despite relatively high per-student spending of $24,660, Rosenwald consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of South Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 399 and 599 out of 630-644 schools over the past decade. Its performance on state assessments is also significantly below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas.

While the nearby schools, such as J.L. Cain Elementary, Wallace Elementary/Middle, and North Hartsville Elementary, also serve predominantly low-income student populations, they generally outperform Rosenwald on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and resource allocation, may be contributing to Rosenwald's 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.
