A. L. Corbett Middle faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics compared to the state and district averages. For example, in 8th grade ELA, the school had a 46.2% proficiency rate, compared to 53.1% for the Aiken 01 district and 55.7% for the state.
