Jefferson Elementary

Summary:

Jefferson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Warrenville, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 557. The school is part of the Aiken 01 school district, which is ranked 39 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite receiving higher per-student spending compared to the state average, Jefferson Elementary has consistently underperformed academically compared to the Aiken 01 district and the state of South Carolina. In the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA and Math was significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students, also struggles to achieve at the same level as their peers at nearby schools like Belvedere Elementary and Hammond Hill Elementary.

Further complicating the challenges at Jefferson Elementary is the school's high concentration of students from low-income families, with a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate. This high-poverty environment is a significant barrier to student success, and the school's consistently low rankings suggest that the additional resources it receives are not being effectively translated into improved academic outcomes. The school and Aiken 01 district will need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and provide a high-quality education for all students.

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.
