Andrews Elementary

Summary:

Andrews Elementary is a public elementary school located in Andrews, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 684 students. The school is part of the Georgetown 01 school district, which is ranked 44 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes, Andrews Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's challenges are particularly acute for student subgroups, such as African American, low-income, and disabled students, who perform significantly worse than their peers across the state and district. Nearby schools in the Georgetown 01 district, such as Pleasant Hill Elementary STREAM Academy, generally outperform Andrews Elementary on state assessments and have higher rankings.

The persistent underperformance of Andrews Elementary suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's challenges. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the lack of improvement in the school's statewide ranking and assessment scores over the years indicate that a comprehensive, long-term approach may be needed to address the root causes of the school's underperformance and improve student outcomes.

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.
