Summary

Greenville Middle Academy is a public magnet middle school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving 750 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Greenville 01 School District, which is ranked 11th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenville Middle Academy consistently ranks among the top 60 middle schools in South Carolina, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly higher than the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 65.1% in 6th grade ELA, 72.6% in 7th grade ELA, and 52.4% in 6th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 56%, 58.2%, and 39.4%, respectively. The school's performance on the Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 End-of-Course exam is also exceptional, with proficiency rates consistently above 95% in recent years.

While Greenville Middle Academy's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby middle schools in the Greenville 01 district, such as Mauldin Middle, Tanglewood Middle, and Berea Middle, some magnet schools like Hughes Academy of Science and Technology, Dr. Phinnize J. Fisher Middle, and League Academy also demonstrate strong academic performance, often rivaling or exceeding Greenville Middle Academy's results. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.5% to 24.7% in recent years, could be an area of concern and may require further investigation.
