Berea High

Summary:

Berea High is a public high school located in Greenville, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,244 students. The school is part of the Greenville 01 school district, which is ranked 14 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Berea High faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, particularly for its economically disadvantaged and minority student populations, which lag behind their peers at the district and state levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Berea High's proficiency rates were lower than the Greenville 01 district averages in Algebra 1/Mathematics, English 1, U.S. History, and English 2. However, the school's Gifted and Talented students perform exceptionally well, ranking 16th out of 157 high schools in the state for the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may have a strong program and resources dedicated to supporting its high-achieving students, despite the overall academic challenges faced by the broader student population.

Comparing Berea High to nearby schools, such as Travelers Rest High, Wade Hampton High, and Southside High, these schools generally perform better than Berea High on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings. However, these schools also have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 56.64% to 100% at Berea High. The exceptional performance of Greenville Technical Charter High School, located within the same general area, further highlights the importance of addressing the unique challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students and providing them with the necessary support and resources to improve academic 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.
