Summary:
Middle schools in zip code 29729 are served by a single school, Lewisville Middle, which enrolls 295 students in grades 6 through 8 in the Richburg, SC area, and is part of the Chester 01 school district.
Lewisville Middle is a school on the rise, showing three consecutive years of improvement in its state ranking. It has jumped from the 53rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 71st percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. The school's biggest standout is its exceptional Algebra 1 performance, with a 96.55% proficiency rate on the End-of-Course Exam—far surpassing both the district (76.48%) and state (73.95%) averages. This "Algebra Advantage" is a clear area of excellence. In English Language Arts, the school also shines, with proficiency rates in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades (70.4%, 64.2%, and 69.4%) all well above state averages. However, the school shows a "tale of two subjects": while it excels in ELA and Algebra, its 8th-grade standard math proficiency (38.4%) falls below the state average (44.2%), likely because top math students are taking Algebra 1 instead.
Compared to its home district, Chester 01, which holds a 2-star rating, Lewisville Middle is a clear "bright spot," outperforming district averages in nearly every subject by 10-20 percentage points. The school also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and per-student spending of $13,663. One concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 22.1%—slightly better than the district's 25.4% but still meaning nearly a quarter of students are missing significant school. For parents, this school offers strong academic momentum, particularly in advanced math and reading, though standard 8th-grade math and chronic absenteeism are areas to watch.
