W. A. Perry Middle

Summary:

W. A. Perry Middle is a public middle school in Columbia, South Carolina, serving 309 students in grades 6-8. 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.

W. A. Perry Middle faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of South Carolina middle schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13.1% of 6th graders were proficient in math, compared to 38.4% statewide and 23.3% in the Richland 01 district. The school's high poverty rate, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, is likely a major contributing factor to these academic struggles.

Interestingly, the nearby Hand Middle and W. G. Sanders Middle schools in the Richland 01 district have significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the challenges at W. A. Perry Middle. Additionally, the school's African American students perform better than the overall student population, while male students and students with disabilities perform significantly worse, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support.

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.
