League Academy, Greenville SC - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on League Academy

League Academy, a regular public middle school in Greenville, serves students in grades six through eight and is part of the Greenville 01 district. It is neither a charter nor a magnet school, and Title I status was not reported. The school occupies a mid-sized campus in a city that is growing rapidly, with a mix of residential and commercial development, major employers such as Michelin, Prisma Health, and Duke Energy, and a walkable downtown anchored by Falls Park on the Reedy and the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

On state assessments, League Academy shows a clear split between subjects. In English language arts, proficiency across all three grades is notably strong, with roughly seven in ten students meeting the state’s proficiency standard. Science results, available for grade six, follow a similar pattern, with a comparable share of students demonstrating proficiency. In mathematics, however, the picture is different. Slightly fewer than half of students scored at the proficient level in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade, a gap that a parent may want to explore further with the school. Social studies data for seventh grade comes from several years ago and reflects an earlier assessment; it shows proficiency in a range similar to science, though the test and cut scores have since changed. The state changed its ELA and science cut scores in the 2024-25 school year, and South Carolina also introduced a new science assessment name that year, so direct year-over-year comparisons are not possible. Only one year of recent data is available for math and ELA, meaning the trend line is not yet established.

The student body, totaling several hundred, is composed predominantly of White students, with a meaningful share of Black and Hispanic students and smaller groups of Asian, Native American, and multiracial students. About half of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, placing the school in a middle-income range that reflects the broader Greenville area. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not reported, so a parent interested in those supports would need to contact the school directly.

Housing in the neighborhoods that feed into League Academy is priced around the national median, and rents are comparable to what many households in the area pay. The local housing market has seen modest appreciation, and the broader Greenville area continues to add population and economic activity, which can affect school enrollment and community resources over time. The district itself reported little in the way of recent structural changes or new initiatives, so families can expect a stable administrative environment.

League Academy is a school where a student likely arrives with solid literacy and science preparation but may need additional support in math. The school’s academic profile suggests a peer environment where more than half of students are performing at grade level in reading, while math performance is more mixed. Because it is a middle school with a standard grade span, there are no graduation rates or college preparatory programs to evaluate, and course access offerings were not provided. A family moving to Greenville who values a school with strong ELA outcomes and wants to understand how math instruction is addressed might find this school worth examining closely.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
