Summary

Gregg Middle in Summerville, SC, serves 810 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Dorchester 02 school district, which ranks 20th out of 75 districts in the state.

Gregg Middle has shown notable improvement this year, moving from the 42nd to the 55th percentile in state rankings, though it still trails its peak performance from the late 2010s when it consistently earned 4-star ratings. The school's most striking feature is what might be called the "Algebra 1 paradox": while standard math proficiency rates lag significantly behind district averages (for example, only 32.2% of 7th graders and 42.2% of 8th graders are proficient in math, compared to district averages of 51% and 54.8%), students taking Algebra 1 achieve a remarkable 96.42% proficiency rate on the EOCEP exam—far exceeding the district's 80.02% and the state's 73.95%. This suggests the school excels at supporting its advanced math students but struggles to reach the broader student population. English Language Arts scores are closer to district averages, though 7th and 8th graders still lag behind their peers by roughly 10 percentage points.

One of the most pressing concerns is chronic absenteeism, which stands at 30.3%—substantially higher than the district's 24.0% and the state's 22.3% averages, and more than double the rate at top-performing nearby Rollings Middle School of the Arts (11.7%). This attendance issue is likely a major factor in the school's academic challenges. Compared to nearby schools, Gregg Middle outperforms River Oaks Middle, Alston Middle, and Northwoods Middle, but trails East Edisto Middle, Oakbrook Middle, and Rollings. The school spends $12,816 per student—more than most comparable schools—yet this higher spending hasn't translated into proportionally better outcomes, suggesting that addressing attendance and supporting struggling math students could be more impactful than additional funding alone.

Overcrowded. The administration does not taking bullying instances seriously. I am aware of several parents including myself who have removed their children from the school. The teachers are great and do the best they can. There are numerous fights in the hallways and incidents on the buses. Happy we switched to private school. Close Quote
