Midland Elementary

Summary:

Midland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Galivants Ferry, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 615 students. The school is part of the Horry 01 school district, which is ranked 9th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midland Elementary consistently outperforms the Horry 01 district and the state of South Carolina in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, Midland Elementary had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. The school also ranks among the top in the state for its performance with female, low socioeconomic status, and disabled students, indicating a strong focus on equity and inclusion.

While Midland Elementary's academic excellence and resource allocation are notable strengths, the school's predominantly white student population, with relatively low percentages of African American and Hispanic students, raises questions about diversity and representation within the school community. This racial imbalance may be reflective of the broader demographic trends in the surrounding area, but it is an aspect that the school and district should consider addressing to ensure a more inclusive learning environment for all students.

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.
