Summary

Haut Gap Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Johns Island, South Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 433 students. As part of the Charleston 01 School District, which is ranked 23 out of 75 districts in the state, Haut Gap Middle has consistently maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Haut Gap Middle consistently outperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores, particularly in EOCEP/Algebra 1 and SC READY English Language Arts. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 100% proficiency in EOCEP/Algebra 1, compared to 82.31% for the Charleston 01 district and 73.95% for the state. In SC READY English Language Arts, Haut Gap Middle's proficiency rates ranged from 55.4% to 61.2% across grades 6-8, higher than the state and district averages. However, in SC READY Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were lower, ranging from 38% to 43.9% across grades 6-8, compared to the district and state averages.

While Haut Gap Middle generally outperforms nearby schools in academic performance, some schools, such as Moultrie Middle and Camp Road Middle, have higher overall academic performance and rankings. These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a more advantaged student population. The high chronic absenteeism rate and high-poverty student population at Haut Gap Middle may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school, and the school's magnet status could be an asset in addressing these issues.

This school is a great success story. This article really explains it http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20120617/PC16/120619199/haut-gap-principal-paul-padron-takes-on-new-charleston-county-posi Close Quote

My daughter is in the Haut Gap Magnet program and is being challenged at a high level , the way the program is designed to do.
This new advanced studies program (started in 2009) is quite successful since the school is now also providing a 5th Grade Magnet Preparation course.
The school administration is very receptive to parent input and works hard to make this program a success. Close Quote
