Summary

Greenville Middle Academy is a public school in Greenville, SC, serving 736 students in grades 6-8 as part of the highly-rated Greenville 01 school district.

This school stands out as one of the top-performing middle schools in the area, ranking 52nd out of 335 schools statewide (84th percentile) with a consistent 4-star rating for the past decade. It significantly outperforms nearby schools like Tanglewood Middle (316th), Berea Middle (279th), and Lakeview Middle (273rd), while performing comparably to other high-achieving neighbors like League Academy (51st) and Northwood Middle (56th). One of the school's most impressive strengths is its Algebra 1 program, where 98.68% of students scored proficient in 2024-2025—a remarkable 25-percentage-point advantage over the state average. The school also excels with its Gifted and Talented students, ranking 11th statewide (94th percentile), and shows particularly strong results with its 8th-grade students, who outperform the district by 12.4 points in ELA and 15 points in math.

What makes this school especially noteworthy is its "value-add" approach. While League Academy outperforms it in 6th grade, Greenville Middle Academy surpasses its neighbor by 8th grade—suggesting the school is particularly effective at accelerating student growth over time. The school has also made significant progress reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 23.8% to 17.4%—now better than both district and state averages. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 14:1 and per-student spending of $13,011, the school achieves strong results with moderate resources compared to lower-performing schools that spend more. While performance with Hispanic students and English Language Learners is above average but not as strong as other subgroups, the school's decade-long stability and consistent improvement make it a reliably excellent choice for families in the Greenville area.
