Elloree Elementary

Summary:

Elloree Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Elloree, South Carolina, with a student population of 387. The school is part of the Orangeburg School District, which is ranked 65 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elloree Elementary faces significant challenges in improving student achievement, particularly for its predominantly African American student population. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (86.3%) compared to the state average (37.1%), and its proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 40% compared to the state average of 53.8%. Elloree Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of South Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking of 491 out of 638 schools in 2023-2024. The school's ranking for specific student subgroups, such as male students and low socioeconomic status students, is even lower.

While Elloree Elementary's performance is generally lower than the state and district averages, some nearby schools, such as St. James-Gaillard Elementary and Whittaker Elementary, have similar demographic profiles and perform better academically. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Elloree Elementary, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that factors such as access to resources, teacher quality, and student support services may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

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.
