Summary

T. E. Mabry Middle in Inman, SC, serves 452 students in grades 7-8 as part of the Spartanburg 01 district, and has earned a 4-star rating while ranking in the 74th percentile of middle schools statewide.

This school has a compelling story of steady improvement, climbing from the 59th percentile in 2017-2018 to its current upper-quartile position. The most impressive achievement is its work with English Language Learners—the school now ranks 11th out of 113 schools statewide for ELL performance (90th percentile), a remarkable jump from just two years ago. Mathematics is another clear strength: students achieve near-perfect proficiency on the Algebra 1 EOCEP exam (100% in 2023-2024), far exceeding state averages, and both 7th and 8th grade math scores beat the state by roughly 10 percentage points. The school also does well supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 86th percentile for that group. Compared to nearby options, T. E. Mabry outperforms Fairforest Middle (17th percentile) and Greer Middle (55th percentile), while trailing slightly behind Landrum Middle (81st percentile).

There are a couple of areas parents should watch. The school's Gifted and Talented students rank in the 5th percentile statewide—a puzzling contrast to the stellar Algebra 1 results, suggesting advanced learners may not be getting enough enrichment in regular classes. Chronic absenteeism has also crept up from 10.1% to 18.1% over the past few years, though that's still better than the state average of 22.3%. On the positive side, the school has shown dramatic improvement in serving students with disabilities, jumping from the 17th to the 65th percentile in just two years. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.6 and higher per-student spending than several nearby schools, T. E. Mabry appears to be investing wisely in support systems that are paying off for many of its students.

Open Quote Mabry Middle school in inman sc is the most redicilious school I have ever seen! The students do not get an education! Phones and crome books is their education. You can see for yourself the students are all on instagram and other social media sites all during class posting videos and I can't say that all the teachers are awful teachers but very many are not what I consider a teacher... the school has many issues as well as the high school and everything is swept under the rug!!! Students jump on road workers and post it on snapchat it all gets threw out. If a student pulls a knife on your child as long as the knife isn't over 2 inches long it's all ok in their opinion. Teachers are fired for inappropriate conduct even the principal fired because of not investigating the allegations. I have children attending these schools and am planning on removing them and homeschooling as soon as possible! It's is really crazy how they they can still receive our tax money to operate such a redicilious school! Close Quote
