J. P. Thomas Elementary

Summary:

J.P. Thomas Elementary is a public elementary school in Columbia, South Carolina, serving 323 students in grades PK-5. 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.

J.P. Thomas Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (85.76%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 70-95% African American. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of South Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the district and state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points. Despite spending more per student ($19,840 in 2022-2023) than the state average, the school's academic performance remains low. This suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges that are not being adequately addressed.

The nearby schools in the Richland 01 district share similar demographic and socioeconomic characteristics with J.P. Thomas Elementary, with high percentages of African American and low-income students. However, some of these schools, such as Bradley Elementary and Carver-Lyon Elementary, perform slightly better academically, indicating that factors beyond just demographics and funding may be at play. The consistent low ranking of J.P. Thomas Elementary and the broader patterns observed in the surrounding schools suggest a need for a more holistic and targeted approach to addressing the root causes of these issues within the Richland 01 district.

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.
