Pageland Elementary

Summary:

Pageland Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Pageland, South Carolina, with 324 students from diverse racial backgrounds. 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 from SchoolDigger.

Pageland Elementary consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 29.2% of 3rd graders, 34.2% of 4th graders, and 34.9% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and even lower performance in mathematics. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. Pageland Elementary's performance is particularly concerning for African American, White, and low socioeconomic status students, who rank in the bottom 25% of South Carolina elementary schools.

While nearby schools in the Chesterfield 01 district, such as Edwards Elementary, Ruby Elementary, and Jefferson Elementary, generally outperform Pageland Elementary, these schools also serve student populations with higher percentages of White and higher-income students. The high poverty level and racial/ethnic diversity of Pageland Elementary's student population may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance, and the school's consistently low rankings and ratings over the past decade suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
