Rice Creek Elementary

Summary:

Rice Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Columbia, South Carolina, serving 737 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Richland 02 school district, which is ranked 33 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Rice Creek Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (75.85%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 42.05% to 62.72% African American. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.57% to 76.12% over the past three years, higher than the surrounding schools. While Rice Creek's overall performance on state assessments is lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, the school's African American students perform notably stronger, ranking in the top 40-92 out of 369-394 elementary schools in the state.

The high concentration of low-income students at Rice Creek Elementary may contribute to its lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Bookman Road Elementary and Round Top Elementary, which have higher-performing students and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, Rice Creek's success in supporting its African American students suggests the school is effectively addressing the needs of this population, and targeted interventions, particularly in mathematics, could help improve overall student outcomes.

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.

The staff cares about the students. Somehow they are able to remember each student and each parent. They are always helpful to both you and your child. I only wish I could take the staff with me when I move Close Quote

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.
