Summary:

Buffalo Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Buffalo, South Carolina, with a student population of 491. The school is part of the Union 01 school district, which is ranked 62 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Buffalo Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating very low performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, White, male, low socioeconomic status, and disabled students. Buffalo Elementary's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 26% of 3rd-graders proficient in ELA and 23.1% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 53.8% and 54.5%, respectively. The school's 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate indicates that all of its students come from low-income households.

While the nearby schools in the Union 01 district also perform poorly, with rankings and test scores similar to or slightly better than Buffalo Elementary, schools in other nearby districts, such as Spartanburg 07 (e.g., E.P. Todd School) and Spartanburg 06 (e.g., Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary), significantly outperform Buffalo Elementary, suggesting that the low performance may be more closely tied to the Union 01 district than the immediate geographic 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.
