Summary

Brewer Middle in Greenwood, SC, serves approximately 600 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Greenwood 50 school district, a well-regarded district that ranks in the top quarter of the state.

Brewer Middle is showing signs of a meaningful turnaround. After a few challenging years, the school jumped from the 26th to the 48th percentile in statewide rankings in the most recent school year, with every student group showing significant improvement. The school's work with disabled students is particularly noteworthy—they now rank in the 71st percentile statewide, a remarkable jump from the 29th percentile just a year earlier. English Language Learners also perform well, ranking in the 63rd percentile. One of the school's biggest strengths is its Algebra 1 program: an impressive 86% of students scored proficient on the end-of-course exam, far exceeding both district and state averages. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.4:1 and spends $14,240 per student, which is higher than nearby Westview Middle in the same district.

However, there are areas that need attention. Chronic absenteeism affects about 1 in 4 students, which is higher than the state average and more than triple the rate at nearby Edgewood Middle School in the Greenwood 52 district. There's also a significant gap between how girls and boys perform—girls rank in the 63rd percentile while boys rank in the 24th. Additionally, while the school excels with students who need extra support, its Gifted and Talented program ranks in the bottom 13th percentile statewide, which is puzzling given the strong Algebra 1 results. Overall, Brewer Middle is on a positive trajectory, with particular strengths in supporting diverse learners and advanced math, but improving attendance and addressing the gender gap will be key to sustaining this momentum.
