Summary:
Middle Schools in zip code 29376 serve grades 6 through 8 and include just one school, L. E. Gable Middle, located in Roebuck, SC, with 760 students enrolled.
L. E. Gable Middle is part of the Spartanburg 06 district, which ranks in the 36th percentile statewide. The school has maintained a remarkably stable state ranking over the past three years, hovering around the 48th to 51st percentile. Its most impressive achievement is a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra 1 End-of-Course Examination, far exceeding the district's 75.7% and the state's 73.95%. However, this likely reflects a select group of advanced students rather than the whole student body. The school also outperforms its district in 6th-grade Science (52% vs. 37.5%) and 8th-grade Math (41.2% vs. 36.3%), though it trails state averages in most core subjects.
There is a notable gap between English Language Arts and Mathematics performance. While ELA proficiency sits near or slightly below state averages (ranging from 51.7% to 56.5% across grades), Math proficiency lags significantly, particularly in 7th grade where only 31.4% of students are proficient compared to the state's 41.8%. Chronic absenteeism stands at 22.8%, slightly above the state's 22.3% but below the district's 26.1%. With a student-teacher ratio of 12.2 and per-student spending of $13,501, the school has solid resources, yet these don't directly translate to top-tier outcomes. Year-over-year data shows volatility, such as 8th-grade Math jumping from 20.7% to 41.2% proficiency, suggesting cohort differences play a significant role in performance.
