Summary

Leavelle McCampbell Middle in Graniteville, SC, serves approximately 540 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Aiken 01 school district, and has earned a 2-star rating with a statewide ranking in the bottom third of South Carolina middle schools.

One of the most significant challenges at Leavelle McCampbell is mathematics proficiency, which declines sharply as students progress through the grades. In 2025-2026, only 17% of 8th graders scored proficient in math, compared to the state average of 44.2%—a gap of more than 27 percentage points. This pattern is consistent across grade levels, with 6th graders at 32.3% proficiency and 7th graders at 25.8%. By comparison, nearby Paul Knox Middle achieves 48.6% math proficiency in 8th grade, and Highland Springs Middle reaches 49.3%. The school also shows a notable decline in 8th grade English Language Arts, where proficiency drops to 43.1% versus the district average of 56%. However, there is a bright spot: students in the Algebra 1 advanced course achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the end-of-course exam in 2023-2024, far exceeding the district average of 65.24%—suggesting that when students are placed in rigorous courses, they can excel.

Despite these challenges, Leavelle McCampbell demonstrates some meaningful strengths. The school has maintained chronic absenteeism rates below the district average for three consecutive years, even while serving a population where 72.56% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school also shows a positive trajectory, improving its overall ranking from the 24th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 33rd percentile in 2025-2026. Per-student spending has increased to $11,195, though this remains lower than several higher-performing nearby schools like Highland Springs Middle ($13,335) and Langley-Bath-Clearwater Middle ($12,604). With targeted support in mathematics and continued investment in the strategies that are working, the school has a foundation to build upon for meaningful improvement.
