Summary:
The Newberry 01 school district in South Carolina is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from grades K-5. These schools vary in size, student demographics, and academic performance, but several standout institutions emerge from the data.
Gallman Elementary and Newberry Elementary have more diverse student populations and tend to underperform compared to the district's higher-achieving schools, such as Little Mountain Elementary and Pomaria-Garmany Elementary. These top-performing schools boast strong academic results, with 3rd-5th grade students significantly outpacing district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Across the district, high poverty levels are the norm, with all schools reporting free/reduced lunch rates above 90%. However, the data suggests a positive correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, with the highest-spending schools also achieving the best results. Additionally, student-teacher ratios tend to be lower at the higher-performing schools. While racial disparities in student outcomes are evident, the district as a whole maintains relatively consistent performance, indicating an opportunity to replicate the practices of the standout institutions throughout the Newberry 01 area.
