Summary

Myrtle Beach Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with 1,132 students. While the school is part of the highly-ranked Horry 01 school district, Myrtle Beach Middle's academic performance lags behind both district and state averages.

Myrtle Beach Middle's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with some groups, such as Hispanic students and students with disabilities, performing significantly worse than their peers. Despite spending more per student than the state average, Myrtle Beach Middle's academic outcomes do not reflect this higher investment.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, Myrtle Beach Middle generally underperforms. For example, North Myrtle Beach Middle, Socastee Middle, and Ocean Bay Middle have significantly higher test scores and rankings than Myrtle Beach Middle. Addressing the school's declining performance, equity concerns, and resource allocation will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for the students at Myrtle Beach Middle.
