Greer Middle has a relatively diverse student population, with 48.52% White, 18.98% African American, and 27.5% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages. While the school ranks relatively well for African American and low socioeconomic status students, it ranks much lower for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, indicating achievement gaps. Greer Middle's spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $10,262 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools.

Compared to nearby schools in the Greenville 01 district, such as Riverside Middle and Blue Ridge Middle, Greer Middle generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates and rankings.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from 118th out of 291 South Carolina middle schools in 2013-2014 to 165th out of 325 in 2023-2024, suggests that its performance has not kept pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

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.
