GREEN Charter School Midlands

Summary:

GREEN Charter School Midlands is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Irmo, South Carolina, serving 302 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with 28.81% White, 43.71% African American, 10.93% Hispanic, and 4.97% Asian students.

While GREEN Charter School Midlands has shown mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 28.6% to 67.7% and in Mathematics from 4.8% to 36.3%, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years. In the 2020-2021 school year, the school ranked 106 out of 622 South Carolina elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating, but in the 2023-2024 school year, its ranking dropped to 431 out of 638 schools, with a 2-star rating. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male students ranking 299 out of 582 South Carolina elementary schools and low socioeconomic status students ranking 377 out of 608 schools, both with a 2-star rating.

When compared to nearby public schools in the Lexington 05 district, GREEN Charter School Midlands generally underperforms in academic proficiency rates. For example, Ballentine Elementary and River Springs Elementary had significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. However, GREEN Charter School Midlands has a more diverse student population compared to many of the nearby public schools, which tend to have a higher percentage of White students. Additionally, the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 11 students per teacher in recent years, which could be a strength in providing more personalized instruction and support for students.

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.

Open Quote Please know this is a heartfelt attempt to save a family from the almost instant regret you will feel for having believed this to be a good school. I cannot stress enough how absolutely unorganized this school is in every aspect. The amount of negative energy and dysfunction is in the very walls of this school. My children, who have been straight A students since Kindergarten, didn’t meet their test goals since starting this school. The teachers quit and new ones are brought in. Then the replacements quit. There is a complete lack of communication with the parents, along with what feels like indignation. There seems to be no recognition or accountability for the atmosphere of the school, and it is most likely it will not be open for much longer. I give it 2 more years max. Close Quote

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.
