Iva Elementary

Summary:

Iva Elementary is a public elementary school in Iva, South Carolina, serving 383 students in grades PK-5 and part of the highly-ranked Anderson 03 school district.

Iva Elementary stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing both state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In 2023-2024, 74.6% of 4th-grade students at Iva Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 71.6% in the Anderson 03 district and 57.2% statewide. This high achievement is particularly noteworthy given that 100% of Iva Elementary's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 12.6, may contribute to its academic success.

While Iva Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (81.72%) compared to nearby schools like Flat Rock Elementary and Starr Elementary, the school's ranking for this subgroup is lower than its overall ranking, suggesting room for improvement in addressing the needs of this student population. However, Iva Elementary's ranking for low socioeconomic status students is particularly impressive, with the school ranking in the top 10% of South Carolina elementary schools in this category, indicating that the school is effectively supporting and meeting the needs of its economically disadvantaged 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.
