Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Meeting Street Academy-Spartanburg is a public elementary school serving 320 students in grades PK-5 in Spartanburg, South Carolina, which is part of the Spartanburg 07 school district.

Meeting Street Academy-Spartanburg stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly for its African American and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups. The school ranks 15th out of 369 South Carolina elementary schools for its African American student subgroup and 209th out of 599 schools for its low-socioeconomic status subgroup. This is an impressive achievement, as these subgroups often struggle academically at other schools. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the Spartanburg 07 district and state averages, especially in the 3rd and 4th grade levels. This success is likely due in part to the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,736 and its low student-teacher ratio of 7.2, which allows for more individualized attention and support for students.

The racial makeup of Meeting Street Academy-Spartanburg is in stark contrast to the nearby schools, such as Jesse Boyd Elementary and Pine Street Elementary, which have a much higher percentage of white students. Meeting Street Academy-Spartanburg has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (85.62%) compared to the state and district averages. This unique student demographic, combined with the school's strong academic performance, makes it an interesting case study for understanding how to support student success in challenging educational environments.
