St. Andrews Middle

Summary:

St. Andrews Middle is a public middle school in Columbia, South Carolina, serving 706 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.

St. Andrews Middle faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of South Carolina middle schools over the past 8 years and receiving a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has much lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, with only 25.4% of 6th graders, 19.3% of 7th graders, and 34.7% of 8th graders proficient in ELA. Additionally, St. Andrews Middle struggles across various student subgroups, including African American students, low socioeconomic status students, and gifted and talented students, ranking in the bottom quartile of the state. This is particularly concerning given that the school serves a student population that is 86.69% African American, significantly higher than the state average.

While St. Andrews Middle faces these academic challenges, nearby schools like Hand Middle and Meadow Glen Middle perform significantly better, ranking in the top half and top 10% of South Carolina middle schools, respectively. This stark contrast in performance raises concerns about educational equity and access to quality education within the Richland 01 district. Despite consistent funding, St. Andrews Middle has not shown meaningful improvement in its academic performance or state rankings over the past 8 years, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, leadership, and support systems.

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.
