Summary

Mid-Carolina Middle is a public middle school located in Prosperity, South Carolina, serving 513 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Newberry 01 school district, which is ranked 32 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mid-Carolina Middle consistently outperforms the Newberry 01 district and the state of South Carolina in academic assessments, with 99.99% of students proficient or better in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 82.35% for the district and 73.95% for the state. The school also generally performs better than the district and state in terms of student subgroup performance, with White, Hispanic, and Gifted and Talented students ranking higher than their respective district and state counterparts. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, while lower than the district average, is still relatively high at 24.7% in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby schools in the Lexington 05 district, such as Beechwood Middle and Chapin Middle, Mid-Carolina Middle's performance is generally lower, particularly in mathematics. These schools have significantly higher academic achievement in several subject areas. Overall, Mid-Carolina Middle is a strong-performing middle school, but it may benefit from further investigation into the factors contributing to the performance disparities among student subgroups and strategies to address the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate.
