Summary

Johnsonville Middle is a public middle school in Johnsonville, South Carolina, serving 272 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Florence 05 school district, which is ranked 34 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Johnsonville Middle consistently outperforms the state and district averages in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, with 100% proficiency in 2024-2025 compared to 86.42% for the district and 73.95% for the state. However, the school struggles in other subject areas, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates are below the state and district averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Johnsonville Middle has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.1% to 24.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

The school's performance is particularly concerning for African American and Gifted and Talented students, who rank in the bottom 20% and bottom 10% of middle schools in the state, respectively. In contrast, the school performs relatively well for Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students, ranking in the top third of middle schools in the state. Despite higher per-student spending, Johnsonville Middle has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 12.9, which could indicate that resources are not being optimally allocated or utilized to support student learning. Addressing these issues may be key to improving the overall performance and outcomes for the school and its students.
