Webber School

Summary:

Webber School is an elementary school in Eastover, South Carolina, serving 190 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.

Webber School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance compared to other South Carolina elementary schools. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance, and its proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 43.8%, compared to 45.2% for the Richland 01 district and 53.8% for the state. However, the school's high per-student spending of $23,786 in the 2022-2023 school year suggests that it may be receiving additional resources to support its students.

One concerning finding is the significant performance gap between African American students and other racial/ethnic groups at Webber School. While African American students perform relatively well, ranking in the top third of schools in the state, the school's overall performance is dragged down by the low performance of other subgroups, such as female students and students of low socioeconomic status. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students. When compared to other elementary schools in the Richland 01 district and nearby districts, such as Shaw Heights Elementary and Cherryvale Elementary, Webber School generally performs worse on academic measures, suggesting that the school may face unique challenges that are not shared by its neighbors.

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.
