Dr. Rose H. Wilder Elementary

Q: Is Dr. Rose H. Wilder Elementary a good school?

Dr. Rose H. Wilder Elementary ranks 382 nd of 638 South Carolina elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Dr. Rose H. Wilder Elementary is a public elementary school in Summerton, South Carolina, serving 117 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Clarendon 06 school district, which is ranked 45 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Academically, Dr. Rose H. Wilder Elementary faces significant challenges. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are consistently lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade where they are around 10 percentage points behind. The school's overall statewide ranking has declined from 512 out of 644 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 382 out of 638 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating. While the school's African American students perform relatively well compared to other African American students in the state, the performance of female students and low socioeconomic status students is significantly lower.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Manning Primary and schools in the Williamsburg 01 and Sumter 01 districts, generally have more diverse student populations and higher academic performance compared to Dr. Rose H. Wilder Elementary. This may be due to the school's low socioeconomic status, as evidenced by the extremely low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, as well as its small size and lack of diversity.

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.
