Augusta Circle Elementary

Summary:

Augusta Circle Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving 557 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Greenville 01 school district, which is ranked 14th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Augusta Circle Elementary consistently ranks among the top 3-5 elementary schools in South Carolina, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 89.6% of 3rd graders, 94% of 4th graders, and 89.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 61.7%, 64.5%, and 63.4% for the district, respectively. In Mathematics, 88.6% of 3rd graders, 94% of 4th graders, and 89.7% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to 65%, 61%, and 57.4% for the district. The school's performance in Science is also exceptional, with 84.4% of 4th graders proficient or better in 2022-2023, compared to 60.2% for the district and 46.6% for the state.

However, Augusta Circle Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of White students (88.15% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, such as Welcome Elementary, East North Street Academy, and Stone Academy, which have more diverse student populations. This raises questions about the school's ability to provide an inclusive and equitable learning environment for students from diverse backgrounds, and the significant differences in academic performance between Augusta Circle Elementary and the nearby schools with more diverse student populations may suggest potential issues related to equity and access to high-quality education.

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.
