Middle Schools in Lee 01

Summary:

The Lee 01 district of South Carolina has only one middle school, Lee Central Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 338 students.

Lee Central Middle is a low-performing school, ranking 307 out of 320 middle schools in the state and receiving the lowest possible 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. Student proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with less than 40% of students meeting grade-level standards in any subject. The school has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 100%, indicating it serves a high-poverty student population.

Despite the low performance, Lee Central Middle has relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, suggesting that funding and staffing levels may not be the primary drivers of the poor outcomes. Significant interventions and support may be needed to improve student learning and achievement at this school.
