Summary:

Duncan Chapel Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving 591 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Greenville 01 School District, which is ranked 14th out of 75 districts in the state.

While Duncan Chapel Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 32.15% White, 29.78% African American, and 31.81% Hispanic, its 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 statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 217th out of 630 South Carolina elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 454th out of 638 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year, with a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Interestingly, the school's Hispanic students have generally performed better than the overall performance, while the African American, male, and low socioeconomic status students have tended to perform below the school's average.

Duncan Chapel Elementary faces significant challenges, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, but it is still lower than some of the nearby higher-performing schools, such as Westcliffe Elementary and Armstrong Elementary. When compared to nearby schools in the Greenville 01 district, such as Stone Academy and Summit Drive Elementary, which have similar demographics and funding levels, Duncan Chapel Elementary is clearly underperforming academically.

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.
