Summary

Military Magnet Academy is a public magnet high school in North Charleston, South Carolina, serving grades 6-12 with an enrollment of around 400 students. The school is part of the Charleston 01 school district, which is ranked 23 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Military Magnet Academy has had a mixed performance on state assessments, with rankings ranging from 106 to 216 out of 235 high schools in recent years. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, it performs better in certain subject areas, such as Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, where it outperforms the district and state. The school's performance on the English 2 End-of-Course exam is particularly strong, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state. The school has also shown some strengths in its performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students, African American students, and Hispanic students.

However, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 13.9% to 24.7% in recent years, which is higher than the district and state averages. Despite this, the school has relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $21,414 to $51,263 per student, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.9 to 10.7 students per teacher. These resources could be leveraged to improve academic outcomes and support student success at Military Magnet Academy.
