Summary:

Southside Middle is a public middle school in Florence, South Carolina, serving 1,100 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Florence 01 school district, which is ranked 27th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Southside Middle consistently outperforms the Florence 01 district and the state of South Carolina in the percentage of students proficient or better in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, with a 100% proficiency rate in 2023-2024 compared to 80.08% for the district and 72.5% for the state. However, the school lags behind the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency on the SC READY assessments. Interestingly, Southside Middle's African American and Hispanic students perform better relative to their peers in the state, with higher rankings among South Carolina middle schools compared to the school's overall ranking. In contrast, the school's disabled students and gifted and talented students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom quarter of South Carolina middle schools.

Southside Middle has a relatively high per-student spending of $13,178 in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the district average of $12,348 and the state average of $11,508. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2, compared to the district average of 16.3 and the state average of 13. While these resources suggest the school is allocating funds to support its diverse student body, its overall performance on standardized tests, while better than the district and state averages, is still relatively low, indicating that additional factors beyond resources may be influencing student outcomes. Compared to nearby middle schools, Southside Middle's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the John W. Moore Middle and Williams Middle, but lags behind the performance of Spaulding Middle and Darlington Middle, which are located in the neighboring Darlington 01 district.

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.
