Middle Schools in Chester 01

The Chester 01 school district in South Carolina is home to two middle schools: Chester Middle and Lewisville Middle. While both schools face significant challenges, the data analysis highlights Lewisville Middle as the stronger-performing school in the district.

Lewisville Middle outperforms Chester Middle and the overall Chester 01 district on most academic measures, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. Additionally, Lewisville Middle has a higher statewide school ranking and spends less per student than Chester Middle, suggesting it is using its resources more effectively.

However, both schools face significant challenges, with high rates of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility and overall low performance compared to state averages. The stark difference in racial demographics between the two schools is also noteworthy and may warrant further investigation into potential factors contributing to the performance gap. Ultimately, the data suggests the Chester 01 district as a whole may need to implement comprehensive improvement strategies to raise student achievement across all its middle schools.
