Plainview Elementary is a public elementary school in Patrick, South Carolina, serving 178 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Chesterfield 01 School District, which is ranked 52 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Plainview Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance in certain areas, with 76.2% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40% for the district and 53.7% for the state. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a 4-star rating in 2016-2017 to a 2-star rating in recent years.

Additionally, Plainview Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (over 92%) compared to the more diverse nearby schools, such as Cheraw Primary and Cheraw Intermediate. The school also has 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Plainview Elementary to nearby schools, some key differences emerge. While Plainview has shown strong performance in certain areas, schools like McBee Elementary and Carolina Elementary have demonstrated stronger overall academic performance, particularly in ELA and Mathematics. Additionally, the nearby schools generally have more diverse student populations and have maintained higher statewide rankings compared to Plainview Elementary, suggesting they may be better equipped to address the academic and socioeconomic needs of their 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.

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.
