Summary

Ten Oaks Middle is a large, high-performing school in the rapidly growing Carolina Forest area of Myrtle Beach, SC, serving 1,264 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the Horry 01 district.

This school consistently ranks among the top middle schools in South Carolina, holding a 4-star rating for seven straight years and currently placing 43rd out of 335 middle schools statewide. What truly sets Ten Oaks apart, however, is its remarkable success with students who often face systemic barriers. The school ranks in the 94th percentile statewide for its effectiveness with low-income students and in the 95th percentile for African American students—both earning 5-star ratings. This is a standout achievement, especially when compared to nearby schools like Myrtle Beach Middle (ranked 179th) or Black Water Middle (ranked 142nd). Ten Oaks also demonstrates exceptional strength in literacy, with English Language Arts proficiency rates running 10-20 points above district and state averages across all grade levels, and a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra 1 end-of-course exam.

While Ten Oaks is the second-highest-ranked middle school in the district—trailing only Ocean Bay Middle—it serves a significantly larger and more economically diverse student body, making its performance arguably just as impressive. The school also operates efficiently, spending $12,138 per student, which is less than several peers like Conway Middle ($13,551) and Socastee Middle ($13,839), while achieving better outcomes. Families should be aware of two emerging concerns: chronic absenteeism has more than tripled since 2020-2021 (now at 17.1%, though still better than district and state averages), and support for students with disabilities has dipped from the 91st to the 76th percentile over the past three years. Still, for parents seeking a school that delivers strong academics across a diverse population, Ten Oaks stands out as a model of educational equity and efficiency.
