Westcliffe Elementary

Summary:

Westcliffe Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving 292 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Westcliffe Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (48.29%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 14.56% to 57.47% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in SC READY/English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the Greenville 01 district and the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 23.1% compared to the district's 61.7% and the state's 53.8%. Additionally, the school's performance on academic assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing below their peers.

Despite having the highest per-student spending ($16,991) among the nearby schools, such as Duncan Chapel Elementary and Armstrong Elementary, Westcliffe Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 84th out of 638 schools in 2014-2015 to 415th out of 638 schools in 2023-2024. This suggests that factors beyond demographics and funding may be contributing to the school's challenges, which include a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
