Summary:

The city of Greer, South Carolina is home to three middle schools: Greer Middle, Riverside Middle, and Blue Ridge Middle. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Greenville 01 school district.

Among the three schools, Riverside Middle stands out as the top performer, ranking 24th out of 320 middle schools in South Carolina. Riverside Middle boasts consistently high test scores, with over 70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 55% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more affluent student population, and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the other two schools.

While the three schools have some differences in performance and demographics, they all outperform the district and state averages on the SC READY English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. Additionally, all three schools are well-funded, with spending per student above the state average. However, the chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high across the board, which could be an area for further investigation and improvement.
