Ford Elementary

Summary:

Ford Elementary is a public elementary school in Laurens, South Carolina, serving 416 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Laurens 55 School District, which is ranked 63 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ford Elementary faces significant challenges in student academic achievement, consistently ranking in the bottom 25% of South Carolina elementary schools with a 0-star rating. The school has a diverse student population, with 28.12% White, 25.96% African American, and 40.87% Hispanic students, but its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state and district averages. Despite a high spending of $12,917 per student, the school's performance remains well below nearby schools like Hickory Tavern Elementary/Middle and Waterloo Elementary, both in the Laurens 55 district.

The challenges faced by Ford Elementary are further compounded by its high poverty rate, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population, particularly the significant achievement gaps observed between different racial groups. The school's consistent low performance over the years indicates a need for a more effective and tailored approach to improving student outcomes at Ford Elementary.

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.
