Dewey-Carter Elementary

Summary:

Dewey-Carter Elementary is a public elementary school in Effingham, South Carolina, serving 583 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 and has a 3-star rating.

Dewey-Carter Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 40.82% White, 43.57% African American, 8.92% Hispanic, and 6.35% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance on subgroup metrics is mixed, with African American students ranking relatively well, but White students, low socioeconomic status students, and gifted and talented students performing lower. The school has a higher per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may suggest a focus on providing additional resources and support for students.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Florence 01 district, Dewey-Carter Elementary generally performs below the district averages in academic proficiency, with the exception of its performance for African American students. Schools like Carver Elementary and Royall Elementary, which have higher overall academic proficiency rates, provide a useful benchmark for Dewey-Carter Elementary to strive towards. Additionally, the school's consistent low performance and high poverty rates among its student population may contribute to the academic challenges it faces.

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.
