Brockington Elementary Magnet is a public elementary school in Timmonsville, South Carolina, serving 301 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Florence 01 School District, which is ranked 27th out of 75 districts in the state.

Despite its magnet school designation, Brockington Elementary Magnet consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores, with particularly low performance for male and African American students. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 556th out of 638 South Carolina elementary schools, significantly lower than nearby schools like North Vista Elementary, McLaurin Elementary, and Briggs Elementary. This suggests the challenges faced by Brockington Elementary Magnet may be unique or more pronounced compared to other schools in the district.

The high percentage of students (99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Brockington Elementary Magnet indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be a major factor contributing to the school's academic struggles. Targeted interventions and support, such as increased funding, professional development for teachers, and evidence-based strategies to support student learning, could be beneficial in addressing the needs of this school community.

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.
