Pine Ridge Middle

Summary:

Pine Ridge Middle is a public middle school located in West Columbia, South Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 403. The school is part of the Lexington 02 district, which is ranked 59 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $13,983 at Pine Ridge Middle, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of South Carolina middle schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, particularly for certain student subgroups. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 174 out of 248 for African American students, 122 out of 144 for Hispanic students, and 215 out of 255 for White students in the state. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes at Pine Ridge Middle.

When comparing Pine Ridge Middle to other nearby schools in the Lexington 02 district, it consistently underperforms. For instance, Northside Middle and Cyril B. Busbee Creative Arts Academy have higher academic performance and rankings than Pine Ridge Middle. The persistent low performance of Pine Ridge Middle suggests that a targeted, data-driven approach to improving educational outcomes may be necessary to support the success of all students at the school.

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.

Through the collection of pre-pandemic (2019) and current data, SchoolDigger.com is sharing test scores, enrollment numbers and school demographics from schools across the country – and we make it easy to see how impacted schools compare locally and statewide.
