Summary:

Alston Middle is a public middle school located in Summerville, South Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 822. The school is part of the Dorchester 02 School District, which is ranked 17th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alston Middle has a relatively diverse student population, with 44.53% White, 32.85% African American, 13.63% Hispanic, and 8.76% two or more races. This diversity is higher compared to some nearby schools, such as East Edisto Middle and Rollings Middle School of the Arts, which have higher percentages of White students. However, Alston Middle's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 40.2% to 46.8% in English Language Arts and 20.8% to 29.9% in Mathematics, compared to higher district and state averages.

Alston Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students ranking 105th out of 144 middle schools in the state, while multi-racial students ranked 34th out of 52 middle schools. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gaps. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined over the years, from a high of 73rd out of 291 middle schools and a 4-star rating in 2013-2014 to a ranking of 199th out of 325 middle schools and a 2-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to improve student outcomes.

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.

This is the best school I've ever been to! I was afraid of middle school when I first started, but I quickly found our that if I needed any help at all, the teachers would help me. And, the teachers are REALLY nice! Close Quote

This school is horrible in communication. They never update their classroom websites and resort to punishing students when communication fails. Close Quote

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.
