Summary

College Park Middle in Ladson, SC, serves 666 students in grades 6-8 within the Berkeley 01 school district, a school that has faced persistent academic challenges but is showing early signs of improvement.

Academically, College Park consistently trails district and state averages, particularly in math. For example, in 2025-2026, 7th-grade math proficiency was just 19.4% compared to 41.8% statewide. However, there's a remarkable bright spot: 100% of students taking the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam scored proficient, matching the performance at Hanahan Middle and Oakbrook Middle, and far exceeding the state average of 73.95%. This suggests the advanced math pathway is highly effective, even as general math instruction struggles. The school also shows a positive trajectory, improving from the 9th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 16th percentile in 2025-2026, with notable gains in 6th-grade math (from 12.1% to 28.9% proficiency).

Compared to nearby schools, College Park ranks second-lowest in its district, ahead of only Sedgefield Middle, and significantly trails Sangaree Middle, which is just over a mile away and outperforms it in nearly every subject despite serving a similar community. Chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 25.6%, though it has improved from a peak of 37.1% in 2022-2023. The school spends more per student ($14,359) than most comparable schools in the area, yet outcomes remain low, suggesting resources aren't yet translating into broad success. Subgroup performance is mixed: gifted students rank in the 36th percentile, and African American students improved significantly, but Hispanic students and English Language Learners rank in the single digits, and disabled students have seen a sharp decline. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.4, the school has the foundation to improve, but targeted support for its most vulnerable populations and consistent attendance interventions will be critical.

Absolutely horrible. I have been emailing my daughters teachers and principal for two weeks in regards to 20 ZERO's showing on the parent portal but none of them will return my emails. This is the type of issue that causes SC Schools to have a bad rep. Teachers and Principals who dont care about the students! Close Quote
