of 335 South Carolina Middle Schools

Better than 93% of South Carolina middle schools

Summary

Springfield Middle in Fort Mill, SC, serves 710 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the top-ranked York 04 school district, which holds the #1 spot out of 75 districts in South Carolina.

Springfield Middle is a consistently elite school, earning a 5-star rating for ten straight years and ranking #25 out of 335 middle schools statewide (93rd percentile) for 2025-2026. What truly sets it apart is its exceptional success with all groups of students. The school ranks in the top 3% statewide for African American students (#7), top 5% for English Language Learners (#5), and top 6% for disabled students (#10). It also achieves a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra 1 end-of-course exam—far exceeding the state average of 74%. While the school serves a more economically diverse population than some neighbors (about 42-44% of students receive free/reduced lunch), it still ranks in the 86th percentile for low-income student performance. The student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1 is among the most favorable in the district, and per-student spending has risen 23.6% over four years to $13,901.

Springfield faces stiff competition from nearby district peers. Forest Creek Middle (5.3 miles away) and Gold Hill Middle (3.4 miles away) both rank higher overall and post stronger ELA scores in most grades. Springfield's 8th grade ELA proficiency (72.8%) is the lowest among all York 04 middle schools, and its 6th grade science (73.2%) trails the district average by nearly 7 points. Chronic absenteeism (10.8%) is also higher than the district norm (8.5%), though less than half the state average. However, Springfield outperforms schools outside its district by wide margins—W.C. Sullivan Middle and Dutchman Creek Middle in Rock Hill trail by 20-30 points in proficiency. With strong subgroup gains, a remarkable 18.6-point improvement in 8th grade math since 2023, and rising investment, Springfield is well-positioned to maintain its elite status.
