Summary:
The Latta middle-school area has one listed school, Latta Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 190 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was above the state in all three reported subjects: English Language Arts I was 32% versus 26%, Mathematics was 44% versus 25%, and Science was 52% versus 30%. The clearest overall strength is Science, where the school’s result was 22 percentage points above the state.
There is no school-to-school top or bottom in this area because only one school is listed, but results vary substantially by grade and subject. Seventh grade stands out: Mathematics proficiency was 58%, 32 points above the state’s 26%, and English Language Arts I was 48%, 25 points above the state’s 23%. The smallest grade-level advantage was in sixth-grade English Language Arts I, at 26% compared with 25% statewide. The school’s overall English Language Arts I result was also 3 points below the Latta district result of 35%, while Mathematics matched the district at 44% and Science exceeded it, 52% to 43%. Chronic absenteeism was 2% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 5% and the state’s 16%.
Results improved relative to the state overall, although the change was driven mainly by Science. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the school’s proficiency changed by −1 point in English Language Arts I, +2 points in Mathematics, and +13 points in Science; its average advantage over the state grew from 11 to 16 points. SchoolDigger’s school percentile rose from 71 in 2023–2024 to 89 in 2024–2025 and 91 in 2025–2026; separately, SchoolDigger lists the district at rank 36 of 450, percentile 92, with five stars. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 17.7, and 56% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these figures describe the school, not what explains its results.
