Summary

Johnsonville Middle in Johnsonville, SC, serves 281 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Florence 05 school district, and has earned a solid 3-star rating for three consecutive years, placing it in the 56th percentile statewide—a significant climb from its 30th percentile ranking just a few years ago.

This school stands out as the highest-performing middle school in its immediate area. While Hemingway MB Lee Middle (just 4 miles away) ranks in the 24th percentile and Carvers Bay Middle STEAM Academy sits in the 9th percentile, Johnsonville outperforms them in nearly every subject. For example, 8th-grade math proficiency here is 48.7%, compared to 34.2% at Hemingway—even though Hemingway spends more per student ($20,289 vs. $16,670). Johnsonville also achieves a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam, far exceeding the state average of 73.95%. Perhaps most impressive is the school's work with disabled students, ranking in the 79th percentile statewide (a 4-star rating), which is notably higher than its overall school ranking.

Mathematics has been a major success story, with proficiency rates more than doubling across all grade levels since 2022-2023. However, chronic absenteeism has jumped from 20% to 31.8% in just one year, now exceeding both district and state averages—a trend that could threaten future gains. While the school serves a high-poverty population (100% free/reduced lunch) and performs well with low-income students (56th percentile), its Gifted and Talented program ranks in just the 8th percentile. With a favorable 13.3:1 student-teacher ratio and efficient resource use, Johnsonville Middle demonstrates that strategic instruction can yield strong results, though attendance and subgroup performance remain areas to watch.
