Middle Schools in Florence 05

The Florence 05 school district in South Carolina has only one middle school, Johnsonville Middle, which serves grades 6-8 and has a total enrollment of 368 students. While Johnsonville Middle has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, its academic performance, particularly in mathematics, is below the state average. The school's diverse student population, with 64.67% White, 25.82% African American, 4.08% Hispanic, and 0.54% Asian students, and its high percentage of students (100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that the school may need to focus on strategies to support and engage students from different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Johnsonville Middle spends $11,288 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, suggesting a favorable learning environment. However, the school's ELA proficiency is above the state average in 7th and 8th grades but below in 6th grade, and its math proficiency is below the state average in all three grades. The school's science proficiency in 6th grade is slightly above the state average, but overall, the academic performance challenges, particularly in mathematics, suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and support for students in these subject areas.

Despite the academic performance challenges, Florence 05 district's only middle school, Johnsonville Middle, provides a stable educational environment for its diverse student population. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students highlights the need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of this population and help improve academic outcomes.
