Summary

Midway Elementary in Anderson, SC, is a large Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 675 students in the Anderson 05 district, and it consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state—currently placing in the 89th percentile statewide.

For parents, the most striking thing about Midway is its academic performance. In the latest testing year, 77-84% of students scored proficient in English Language Arts and 64-78% in math, far outpacing district and state averages. For example, 4th grade math proficiency (73.5%) is more than 20 percentage points higher than the district average. The school also excels in science, with 71.7% proficiency versus 47% for the district. This success extends to all groups of students: economically disadvantaged students rank in the 84th percentile statewide, and disabled students have improved dramatically, now ranking 21st out of 154 schools. Even gifted students perform well, ranking in the 77th percentile. Midway achieves these results while spending less per student ($14,158) than several nearby schools that rank far lower, such as New Prospect Elementary ($15,768, 15th percentile) and Calhoun Academy of the Arts ($15,568, 43rd percentile).

Another key differentiator is attendance. Midway’s chronic absenteeism rate is just 12.2%, less than half the district average of 24.8% and well below the state average of 22.3%. This strong attendance is likely a major driver of the school’s success, especially when compared to schools like Whitehall Elementary (34.2% chronic absenteeism) and Nevitt Forest Elementary, which struggle with higher absenteeism and lower rankings. While math scores do dip somewhat in 5th grade (63.6% proficiency) compared to 3rd grade (78%), Midway remains a standout choice in the area, outperforming all other Anderson 05 elementary schools by a wide margin.
