Summary:
The Fairfield Middle school is the sole middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Fairfield 01 district in South Carolina. With a total enrollment of 350 students, the school's performance data suggests it is an average to below-average performer compared to other middle schools in the state.
Fairfield Middle has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and a state-wide ranking between 182-198 out of 320-325 middle schools in South Carolina over the past 3 school years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 51.8-53.5% proficient in ELA and 23.8-27.4% proficient in Math for 7th and 8th grades. However, the school performs exceptionally well in End-of-Course Exams (EOCEP) for Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, with 100% proficiency rates.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $22,724 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, Fairfield Middle's academic outcomes are still lagging behind. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, which may be a contributing factor to its lower performance. While the school's exceptional EOCEP results suggest potential strengths, the overall data indicates the need for targeted interventions and support to address the needs of the high-poverty student population and improve the school's academic outcomes.
