Summary

Landrum Middle is a small school in Landrum, SC, serving 218 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Spartanburg 01 district. This school stands out for its remarkable ability to achieve strong academic results, especially for students from low-income backgrounds, while also facing some unique challenges that parents should know about.

One of the most impressive things about Landrum Middle is how well it supports students who qualify for free or reduced lunch. In the most recent school year, these students scored in the 90th percentile statewide—a huge jump from the 78th percentile the year before. That means the school is exceptionally effective at helping students who might face extra challenges at home. The school also shines in English Language Arts and Science, with proficiency rates consistently above both district and state averages. For example, 6th-grade science proficiency hit 70.4%, compared to just 51.9% statewide. This strong performance is backed by higher-than-average spending at $14,802 per student, which is notably more than nearby Boiling Springs Middle ($9,706) and Greer Middle ($11,598).

However, there are a few areas of concern. The school's Gifted and Talented students rank in the bottom 10% statewide, which is a stark contrast to the success seen with other groups—suggesting the school may not be challenging its highest-achieving learners enough. Math scores also fluctuate significantly from year to year, particularly in 6th grade, where proficiency dropped from 62.3% to 26.5% before rebounding to 50.7%. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a persistent issue at 25.4%, higher than the state average of 22.3%. Despite these challenges, Landrum Middle's overall state ranking (81st percentile) outpaces most nearby schools like D. R. Hill Middle (67th) and T. E. Mabry Middle (74th), making it a solid choice for families seeking a school that excels at lifting up students who need extra support.
