Greenville Middle Academy

Summary:

Greenville Middle Academy is a public middle school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving 775 students in grades 6-8. This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, diverse student population, and strong support for student subgroups.

Greenville Middle Academy consistently ranks among the top 60 middle schools in South Carolina, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments, such as SC READY and EOCEP, significantly exceeds the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.

The school's diverse student population, with 48.77% White, 25.42% African American, and 17.81% Hispanic students, is notable compared to nearby schools that tend to have a higher concentration of either White or minority students. Greenville Middle Academy also excels in supporting the academic growth of specific student subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities, who rank among the top schools in the state.

Greenville Middle Academy's strong performance is further highlighted by its relatively high per-student spending of $10,692 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. This investment in resources may contribute to the school's academic success and its ability to serve a diverse student population, including a high percentage (63.23% in 2022-2023) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to nearby schools within the Greenville 01 School District, Greenville Middle Academy generally outperforms its peers on state assessments and has a higher statewide ranking, though some nearby schools, such as League Academy and Dr. Phinnize J.

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.
