Northside Elementary

Summary:

Northside Elementary is a public elementary school in Rock Hill, South Carolina, serving 514 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the York 03 School District, which is ranked 29 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Northside Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (49.61%) and Hispanic (13.42%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years. Academically, Northside Elementary's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in SC READY/English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Northside Elementary faces significant challenges, some of the nearby schools, such as Lesslie Elementary and Cherry Park Elementary School of Language Immersion, demonstrate stronger academic performance and higher rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just the school's demographics may be contributing to the academic challenges at Northside Elementary. Addressing these disparities and providing targeted interventions and support could be a key focus for improving outcomes at the school.

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.
