Summary

Honea Path Middle is a public middle school in Honea Path, South Carolina, serving 313 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Anderson 02 school district, which is ranked 5 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Honea Path Middle consistently outperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores, with 100% proficiency in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 82.94% for the Anderson 02 district and 73.95% for the state. The school has steadily improved its statewide ranking, moving from 190th out of 303 middle schools in 2017-2018 to 48th out of 320 in 2024-2025, and has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Honea Path Middle also excels in the performance of certain student subgroups, ranking 19th out of 307 middle schools in the state for low socioeconomic status students and 40th out of 295 for female students.

While Honea Path Middle outperforms the nearby Belton Middle School, which is also part of the Anderson 02 district, it lags behind the highly-ranked Southwood Academy for the Arts, a magnet school in the Anderson 05 district. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 22.5% to 25.5% in recent years, is an area of concern that the school should address to improve student learning and achievement.
