Beck International Academy

Summary:

Beck International Academy is a public middle school located in Greenville, South Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 818 students. 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 from SchoolDigger.

Beck International Academy consistently ranks among the top middle schools in South Carolina, ranking 78th out of 325 schools in the state for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on state assessments, such as SC READY and EOCEP, is significantly higher than the state and district averages, with 97.5% of students proficient or better in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, compared to 83.25% for the Greenville 01 district and 72.5% for the state. Beck International Academy's student population is also more racially diverse than some nearby schools, such as Hillcrest Middle and Riverside Middle.

While Beck International Academy's academic performance is impressive, the school is also facing an increasing economic disadvantage among its student population, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch rising from 39.76% in 2021-2022 to 61.86% in 2022-2023. This trend is higher than some nearby schools, such as Langston Charter Middle. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4, compared to nearby schools like Hillcrest Middle (17.1) and Riverside Middle (16.7), may contribute to its strong academic performance and ability to support its diverse student population.

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.
