Joseph Keels Elementary

Summary:

Joseph Keels Elementary is a public elementary school in Columbia, South Carolina, serving 438 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.

Joseph Keels Elementary faces significant challenges in supporting the educational needs of its predominantly African American (82.19%) and low-income student population, with all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with academic performance generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 34.2% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 51% for the Richland 02 district and 53.8% for the state.

While Joseph Keels Elementary has a higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, such as Brockman Elementary and Satchel Ford Elementary, these additional resources do not seem to translate into significantly better academic outcomes for the students. In fact, some nearby schools significantly outperform the state on state assessments, suggesting that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the disparities in student outcomes at Joseph Keels Elementary.

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.
