O. P. Earle Elementary

Summary:

O. P. Earle Elementary is a public elementary school in Landrum, South Carolina, serving 456 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Spartanburg 01 school district, which is ranked 15 out of 75 districts in the state.

O. P. Earle Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (84.87%) compared to surrounding schools, and it generally performs better than the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. However, the school has a high percentage of students (68.86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at O. P. Earle Elementary, the school's academic performance, as measured by test scores and statewide rankings, does not appear to be commensurate with the level of funding, suggesting potential opportunities for improvement in resource allocation and instructional practices.

While O. P. Earle Elementary outperforms the Spartanburg 01 district and the state average in test scores, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Holly Springs-Motlow Elementary and Campobello-Gramling School, which are also part of the Spartanburg 01 district. Additionally, the school's performance on the state's school ranking system varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking much lower for white students and gifted and talented students compared to other subgroups.

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.
