Summary

Brewer Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Greenwood, South Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 597 students. It is part of the Greenwood 50 school district, which is ranked 20 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a well-ranked district, Brewer Middle has consistently underperformed compared to the district and the state of South Carolina in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 28.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Brewer Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with lower proficiency rates among African American, male, low-socioeconomic, and disabled students.

Interestingly, Westview Middle and Northside Middle, which are also part of the Greenwood 50 district, have significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better statewide rankings than Brewer Middle. Despite increased spending per student at Brewer Middle, from $9,488 in 2020-2021 to $12,551 in 2023-2024, and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance has not seen significant improvements.
