Summary:

South Middle is a public middle school in Lancaster, South Carolina, serving 534 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Lancaster 01 District, which is ranked 30 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

South Middle has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with only 33.1% of 6th graders, 25.6% of 7th graders, and 18.7% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and even lower proficiency rates in mathematics. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 205 out of 317 schools in 2016-2017 to 299 out of 325 schools in 2023-2024, earning it a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. South Middle's performance is particularly concerning for African American, Hispanic, and low-income students, who lag behind their peers at the school and across the state.

When compared to other middle schools in the area, such as Indian Land Middle, which consistently outperforms South Middle and has a 4-star rating, the stark differences in academic achievement are evident. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at South Middle, 100% in recent years, suggests that the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing these equity concerns and reversing the declining performance trends will be crucial for improving outcomes at South Middle.

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.
