Macedonia Middle

Summary:

Macedonia Middle is a public middle school located in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 383. 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.

While Macedonia Middle has a significantly higher percentage of white students (72.32%) compared to nearby schools like Cane Bay Middle (59.45%) and St. Stephen Middle (19.62%), its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.1% of 6th-grade students at Macedonia Middle were proficient or better in SC READY Mathematics, compared to 29.7% in the Berkeley 01 district and 38.4% statewide. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, with a substantial achievement gap between white and African American students.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.3 to 14.7 over the past three school years, and higher spending per student than nearby schools like Berkeley Middle, Macedonia Middle continues to underperform on academic measures. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, which include a high-poverty student population and declining academic performance and rankings over the years.

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.
