Rosewood Elementary

Summary:

Rosewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Columbia, South Carolina, serving 329 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. This school stands out as a consistently high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

Rosewood Elementary has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating exceptional academic performance. The school's students significantly outperform the Richland 01 district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher. The school's White and female students, in particular, rank among the top elementary schools in South Carolina. While the school's African American and low socioeconomic status (SES) students perform better than their district and state counterparts, their rankings are not as high as the school's overall performance, suggesting an opportunity for improvement in these subgroups.

Rosewood Elementary's success may be attributed to its higher per-student spending ($18,598 in 2022-2023) and lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5, compared to nearby schools like Annie Burnside Elementary, Carver-Lyon Elementary, and Brockman Elementary. This highlights the potential importance of adequate resource allocation in supporting student success, particularly in high-performing schools.

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.
