BE Middle School is a great, closely knit environment for 6-8 graders. We've been pleased with the teaching and school leadership overall. We would like to see more parent-teacher opportunities and organization. Staff is very receptive to parental requests.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 South Carolina used the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in writing, English/Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science. The PASS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of South Carolina. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
