Henry Timrod Elementary

Summary:

Henry Timrod Elementary is a public elementary school in Florence, South Carolina, serving 282 students in grades K-5 and part of the Florence 01 District, which is ranked 27th out of 75 districts in the state.

While Henry Timrod Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (67.02%) compared to nearby schools, its test scores, particularly in Mathematics, are consistently lower than the Florence 01 District and South Carolina state averages. In 2023-2024, only 37.7% of 4th-grade students at Henry Timrod were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 50.4% in the district and 51% statewide. Additionally, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 30-40% of elementary schools in the state, despite having a relatively high spending per student ranging from $12,860 to $20,678 over the past few years.

The significant racial imbalance and the school's 100% free/reduced lunch rate, which is higher than the nearby schools, suggest that Henry Timrod Elementary faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to its underperformance. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes, indicating the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the school's challenges and improve educational opportunities for its students.

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.
