Top 15 Upstate Middle Schools

Upstate SC (Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, Pickens, Oconee, Greenwood, and Laurens Counties) has a combined 67 middle schools. Like all public schools, middle schools are given a South Carolina State Report Card Grade annually. For the purposes of ranking these schools, data from the 2022-2024 Academic years (post-pandemic) are being used. The average score on the state report card for these years is the basis for ranking each school. A comprehensive list of middle school rankings is also available.

The school’s name is linked to the school profile/website and the district is linked to the latest (2024) Report Card for the school.
