Summary:
The Spartanburg 07 school district in South Carolina is home to two middle schools: McCracken Middle and Carver Middle. While both schools serve students in grades 6-8, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and student demographics.
McCracken Middle emerges as the higher-performing school, consistently ranking higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings with a 3-star rating, compared to Carver Middle's 1-2 star ratings. McCracken Middle also outperforms the district and state averages on most academic proficiency measures, including EOCEP/Algebra 1, SC READY ELA, and SC READY Math.
In contrast, Carver Middle is a public magnet school with a unique student demographic, including a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, significantly higher than McCracken Middle's 78.64%. Despite its higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio, Carver Middle struggles to match the academic performance of its counterpart. Both schools, however, share a concerning 22.5% chronic absenteeism rate, an area that may require further attention and improvement.
