Colleton County Middle School has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well below average compared to other middle schools in the state. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 278th out of 325 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 295th out of 325 in 2023-2024. Student academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas tested, with only 35.4% of 6th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 56%.
Despite the low performance, the school has higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average. However, these additional resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes, as the school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%. Overall, the data suggests that Colleton County Middle School faces significant challenges in student achievement, attendance, and overall school performance, and addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach targeting both academic and non-academic factors.
