Best Middle Schools in South Carolina for Gifted and Talented Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in South Carolina!

Every year, the South Carolina Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, Gifted and Talented students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

New rankings! SchoolDigger recently updated its South Carolina rankings with newly released SC READY test scores for the 2025-26 school year.

Be the first to know when we post new rankings!
