Summary

York Middle is a public middle school located in York, South Carolina, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 786 students. The school is part of the York 01 District, which is ranked 42 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

York Middle faces significant challenges in student academic performance, with consistently low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) was 46.9% for 7th grade and 47.8% for 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 58.2% and 55.7%, respectively. In mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, at 27.7% for 7th grade and 27.5% for 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 34% and 32.4%. Additionally, York Middle has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.5% to 31.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, York Middle generally underperforms. For instance, Pleasant Knoll Middle and Gold Hill Middle, both in the York 04 District, consistently outperform York Middle in test scores, with significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and mathematics. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student suggest that resources may not be the primary issue, and a closer examination of instructional practices, curriculum, and support services may be warranted to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance challenges.
