West View Elementary

Summary:

West View Elementary is a public elementary school in Spartanburg, South Carolina, serving 641 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Spartanburg 06 District, which is ranked 40 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

West View Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 28.86% White, 40.72% African American, 19.5% Hispanic, 3.9% Asian, and 6.86% two or more races. This diversity is higher than nearby schools like The Cleveland Academy of Leadership and Roebuck Elementary. However, West View's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the state, district, and nearby school averages. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While West View Elementary spends more per student ($11,026 in 2022-2023) compared to the state and district averages, its academic performance has been declining over the past decade, from being ranked 117 out of 638 South Carolina elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 441 out of 638 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may face unique challenges in supporting the academic achievement of its diverse student body, despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13 students per teacher.

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.
