Horrell Hill Elementary

Summary:

Horrell Hill Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hopkins, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 562. The school is part of the Richland 01 school district, which is ranked 53 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horrell Hill Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of South Carolina elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. However, the school's African American students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds perform better than the overall school population, ranking in the top 50% of South Carolina elementary schools in these subgroups. This suggests that the school may be able to leverage the strengths of these subgroups to improve the overall academic performance.

When comparing Horrell Hill Elementary to the nearby schools in the same district, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming academically. For example, Rosewood Elementary and Brockman Elementary, which are also in the Richland 01 district, consistently rank in the top 25% of South Carolina elementary schools and have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Horrell Hill Elementary, the school's academic performance remains low, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to explore ways to optimize the use of available funds to better support student learning.

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.
