L. E. Gable Middle

Summary:

L. E. Gable Middle is a public middle school located in Roebuck, South Carolina, serving around 840 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Spartanburg 06 school district.

L. E. Gable Middle has a relatively diverse student population, with a majority of White students (around 60-63%) and significant percentages of African American (around 20-22%) and Hispanic (around 7-9%) students. The school has consistently performed above the district and state averages in several key academic areas, including end-of-course exams, SC READY English Language Arts assessments, and SC READY Mathematics assessments. Notably, the school's African American, Hispanic, and multi-racial student subgroups have performed particularly well, with rankings higher than the school's overall ranking.

However, L. E. Gable Middle has faced some challenges, including a slight declining trend in its statewide ranking over the past several years and a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating growing socioeconomic needs. Additionally, the school's ranking for White students and students with disabilities is lower than its overall ranking, suggesting these groups may be underperforming compared to their peers. When compared to nearby schools, such as Boiling Springs Middle and Florence Chapel Middle, L. E. Gable Middle generally outperforms many of them, but there are opportunities to learn from the practices of top-performing schools in the area.

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.
