Summary

Berkeley Middle in Moncks Corner, SC, is a large public school serving 1,477 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Berkeley 01 school district.

Berkeley Middle presents a mixed picture for parents to consider. On one hand, the school shows remarkable strength in advanced math: students taking the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam achieved a 91.66% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, far exceeding both the district (65.63%) and state (73.95%) averages. This suggests that high-achieving students have access to an excellent accelerated program. On the other hand, grade-level math proficiency remains low, with only 26-28% of students meeting state benchmarks in 2025-2026, compared to the state average of 44.2%. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism at 24.9%, which is above the state average and likely contributes to lower overall performance. Parents should also note that the school has a high student-to-teacher ratio of 20.2, meaning larger class sizes and potentially less individualized attention compared to nearby schools like Marrington Middle School of the Arts (15.4 ratio) or Cane Bay Middle.

When comparing Berkeley Middle to its neighbors, it ranks lower overall than Cane Bay Middle (58th percentile) and Macedonia Middle (57th percentile), but performs similarly to Sedgefield Middle and College Park Middle. The school spends less per student ($11,703) than most peers, including St. Stephen Middle ($23,473) and Marrington Middle ($14,944). While the school shows relative strength in serving Gifted and Talented students (55th percentile) and Disabled students (36th percentile), it struggles more with other student groups. For parents, this school may be a good fit if your child is on an advanced math track, but you may want to ask about class sizes, attendance support, and how the school plans to address the gap between its advanced and on-grade-level programs.
