Summary

Sangaree Middle in Ladson, SC, serves 637 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Berkeley 01 school district. The school has shown steady improvement over the past few years, climbing from a 25th percentile ranking in 2023-2024 to a 39th percentile ranking in 2025-2026, though it still has room to reach its 2016-2017 peak of a 4-star rating.

The most impressive highlight is the school's Algebra 1 End-of-Course Exam performance. In 2024-2025, a remarkable 95.32% of Sangaree Middle students scored proficient, far exceeding the district average of 65.63% and the state average of 73.95%. This puts the school on par with top performers like Cane Bay Middle (98.73%) and Westview Middle (96.93%), and well ahead of nearby Sedgefield Middle (82.69%). The school has also made significant strides in supporting specific student groups, with its ranking for English Language Learners jumping from the 38th to 65th percentile, and for Disabled Students from the 38th to 62nd percentile between 2023-2024 and 2025-2026.

However, there are areas of concern. The school's overall math proficiency in grades 6-8 remains below state averages, suggesting the strong Algebra 1 results may be concentrated in a select group of students. Chronic absenteeism, while improved from a high of 41.4% in 2022-2023, still affects 21.2% of students. The school spends more per student ($13,425) than comparable schools like Cane Bay Middle ($11,441) and Oakbrook Middle ($12,395), and maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 15.9. While Sangaree outperforms some district neighbors like Sedgefield Middle (12th percentile) and College Park Middle (16th percentile), it trails schools in the neighboring Dorchester 02 district, including Oakbrook Middle (67th percentile) and Rollings Middle School of the Arts (98th percentile).
