Wallace Elementary/Middle

Summary:

Wallace Elementary/Middle is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Wallace, South Carolina, with a student population of 432. The school is part of the Marlboro 01 school district, which is ranked 72 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively balanced racial makeup, with a mix of White, African American, and other minority students, Wallace Elementary/Middle consistently ranks in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on the SC READY and SCPASS assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 20% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 53.8%. The school's high percentage of low-income students, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, likely contributes to these academic challenges. While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, it is still lower than the state average and may not be sufficient to address the needs of the student population.

When compared to other schools in the Marlboro 01, Chesterfield 01, and Darlington 01 districts, Wallace Elementary/Middle consistently performs worse on academic assessments. For example, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate of 20% in 2023-2024 was significantly lower than the district and state averages. Despite the additional resources that may come with a high percentage of low-income students, the school has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the years, suggesting the need for more comprehensive and targeted interventions to address the unique challenges faced by its 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.
