Summary

Woodmont Middle in Piedmont, SC, serves 904 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly ranked Greenville 01 school district, though the school itself has seen a notable decline in its state ranking over the past few years.

Woodmont Middle currently ranks 195th out of middle schools statewide, placing it in the 42nd percentile—a significant drop from its 2022-2023 peak when it ranked 112th. This downward trend stands in stark contrast to nearby schools like Hillcrest Middle (ranked 38th), Powdersville Middle (31st), and Wren Middle (42nd), all of which consistently perform in the top 15% statewide. Even within its own district, Woodmont lags behind schools like Mauldin Middle (82nd) and Dr. Phinnize J. Fisher Middle (62nd). One of the most concerning metrics is chronic absenteeism: 32.3% of Woodmont students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, far exceeding the district average of 22.5% and much higher than neighbors like Ralph Chandler Middle (15.8%) and Hillcrest (18.2%). This attendance issue appears closely tied to lower proficiency rates—for example, only 52.3% of 8th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 76.7% at Ralph Chandler.

Despite these challenges, Woodmont shows notable strengths. The school excels in serving its disabled student population, ranking 50th statewide (74th percentile) with a 4-star rating—a significant improvement from the prior year. It also reports 100% proficiency on the Algebra 1 End-of-Course exam, though this reflects only the select group of students taking that advanced course. With 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Woodmont serves a high-poverty population, yet its per-student spending ($11,786) is comparable to higher-performing peers in the district. The school's leadership will need to focus on improving attendance and understanding why academic growth lags for certain student groups to reverse the current downward trajectory.

Woodmont is challenged with disciplinary issues that take a focus away from learning and academics. Having spent 1 year at the school we are looking for alternatives for our child, as they were not being well served at this school. We encountered teachers and administrators who were0 not engaged.
