Summary

Henry L. Sneed Middle is a public middle school in Florence, South Carolina, serving 663 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Florence 01 school district, which is ranked 26 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, over the past 10 years, Henry L. Sneed Middle has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 116 in 2015-2016 to 215 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has some bright spots, such as consistently outperforming the district and state in End-of-Course (EOCEP) Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 85.71% to 100% over the past 5 years. However, the school lags behind in SC READY English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, with proficiency rates generally below the district and state averages. Additionally, Henry L. Sneed Middle has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 32.4% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 87.35% to 93.8% over the past 3 years, indicating a high-poverty student population.

When compared to other middle schools in the Florence 01 district and the neighboring Darlington 01 district, Henry L. Sneed Middle generally performs on par or slightly below its peers in terms of test scores and overall school rankings. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism and high poverty rates set it apart from the other schools in the area. The steady decline in the school's statewide ranking over the past 10 years, coupled with its consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests that Henry L. Sneed Middle is struggling to keep pace with other middle schools in South Carolina, despite increased per-student spending.
