Bamberg-Ehrhardt High

Q: Is Bamberg-Ehrhardt High a good school?

Bamberg-Ehrhardt High ranks 142 nd of 235 South Carolina high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Bamberg-Ehrhardt High is a public high school in Bamberg, South Carolina, serving 357 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Bamberg 03 school district, which is ranked 58 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bamberg-Ehrhardt High stands out for its diverse student population, with 38.38% White, 56.02% African American, and smaller percentages of other racial groups. The school generally performs better than the Bamberg 03 district average and the state average on End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in Algebra 1/Mathematics and English 2, though it lags behind in U.S. History. Notably, the school's female students and African American students perform better than the state average, while the male students and White students perform slightly below. Additionally, Bamberg-Ehrhardt High has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 34.73%, compared to the nearby Denmark Olar High which has much higher rates.

While Bamberg-Ehrhardt High outperforms the Bamberg 03 district average, it still lags behind the state average on some EOC exams, suggesting room for improvement. The school also faces challenges, as evidenced by its lower 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and the Bamberg 03 district's 1-star rating. However, the school's diverse student population, strong subgroup performance, and relatively low free/reduced lunch rate compared to nearby schools like Branchville High in the Orangeburg district indicate that Bamberg-Ehrhardt High has some unique strengths that could be built upon.

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.
