Summary

GREEN Charter School Midlands is a small public charter school in Irmo, SC, serving 258 students in grades K-8 under the School Public Charter School District.

This school stands out for its excellent student-to-teacher ratio of 9.9:1, which is better than most nearby schools, and for its strong literacy program—5th grade ELA proficiency (66.7%) actually beat both the district and state averages. However, math is a significant concern. In 2024-2025, only 11.1% of 6th graders and 18.5% of 4th graders scored proficient in math, compared to state averages of 39.4% and 53.7%. Even in the most recent data, 5th grade math proficiency sits at just 23.8% versus the state's 49.1%. This pattern repeats across grade levels, suggesting a systemic issue with math instruction rather than a one-year problem. The school also spends considerably less per student ($11,689) than nearby schools like Ballentine Elementary or River Springs Elementary, which spend between $15,000 and $20,000 per student.

Performance has been volatile. After ranking in the 83rd percentile in 2020-2021, the school dropped to the 21st percentile in 2024-2025 before recovering slightly to the 30th percentile in 2025-2026. Interestingly, its nearest neighbor, Dutch Fork Elementary (just 0.26 miles away), ranks nearly identically overall, but GREEN Charter outperforms Dutch Fork in 5th grade ELA while lagging in math. The school also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism (22.1%), which is right at the state average but higher than nearby schools like River Springs (6.8%). With 68.6% of students now qualifying for free or reduced lunch—up from 45.7% the prior year—the school is adapting to a changing student population, and its middle school grades (6-8) show particular struggles in both math and science.

Monday, February 6, 2023

Please know this is a heartfelt attempt to save a family from the almost instant regret you will feel for having believed this to be a good school. I cannot stress enough how absolutely unorganized this school is in every aspect. The amount of negative energy and dysfunction is in the very walls of this school. My children, who have been straight A students since Kindergarten, didn’t meet their test goals since starting this school. The teachers quit and new ones are brought in. Then the replacements quit. There is a complete lack of communication with the parents, along with what feels like indignation. There seems to be no recognition or accountability for the atmosphere of the school, and it is most likely it will not be open for much longer. I give it 2 more years max. Close Quote
