Summary:
College Park Middle is a public middle school located in Ladson, South Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 714 students. The school is part of the Berkeley 01 School District, which is ranked 37 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
College Park Middle faces several challenges, including a diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, lower-than-average academic performance, and persistent low rankings compared to other middle schools in the state. The school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools like Gregg Middle and Northwoods Middle, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students. However, College Park Middle's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 32.2% to 34.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 8.8% to 15.1% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 50.2% to 53.7% and 30.2% to 38.4%, respectively.
Despite these challenges, College Park Middle has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.8, which is lower than the nearby schools, which range from 14.5 to 18.3 students per teacher. Additionally, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $10,769 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Deer Park Middle ($18,502) and Northwoods Middle ($16,410). These factors may provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly in addressing the significant achievement gaps between different racial and ethnic groups at the school.
