McCormick Middle

Summary:

McCormick Middle School is a small public middle school in McCormick, South Carolina, serving 153 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the McCormick 01 school district, which is ranked 71 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, McCormick Middle School has consistently performed significantly below the state average on standardized tests, with only 31% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 53.7%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates are even lower, with only 10.3% of 6th-graders, 5% of 7th-graders, and 11.7% of 8th-graders meeting or exceeding the standards. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past several years.

Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $15,761 to $18,058 per student, and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, the school's academic outcomes do not reflect the level of investment. The school's 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate indicates that all students come from low-income households, which is likely a significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges. The district and school leadership will need to implement comprehensive strategies to address the root causes of the school's underperformance and provide the necessary support and resources 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.
