Haut Gap middle school is probably the worst middle school experience my son ever had. The administrative staff was horrible and the teachers did nothing to help him understand the criteria. My son was excepted into the magnet program and even then, he came home every day with several terrible bruises on his arm, a result of the bully problem they have. He has gon through three other schools and finally found a fit. Don't put your child through what I put mine.

This is a great school, any child woul be lucky to go here. The teachers are friendly, and so are the students. I have two great teachers this year, one who is very hard on me, and one who will do anything for me to succeed. Before I came to haut gap I had trouble in math but with the help of the friendly teachers I was able to catch right up.

I was in the magnet program and i did like it for the first year but then on the second year i didnt like it as much. Some of the teachers would expect you to know things rigth away and some would just keep teaching with out helping you becuase of little time. I went to the normal classes and did great. Im with people Im comfterful with and the work is easy.

My children are in the 7th and 8th grade. I moved them to the magnet because they were not being challenged by the near by private school. I am thrilled with the results! The teachers are outstanding and the kids are nice! The school is run in a disciplined fashion and it results in the children showing respect for their elders, and it promotes a learning environment! Who would have thought?

My daughter is part of the inaugural class of the Magnet program and we are loving the program, the school and the teachers and staff! The administration listens to the kids and the parents, and the teachers go above and beyond... definitely a new leaf for a great school!

As school media specialist, I have a unique perspective being able to observe all staff and students at the school. This is one of the best schools I have ever worked in during my 30 year career. We will move to a new building before year's end, the magnet program is dynamite, and faculty and staff are dedicated to the students. The children at Haut Gap are engaged in the PBIS program which provides positive reinforcement for proper behavior. If I had children of school age, I would want them to attend this middle school.

this school is a wonderful place to be because you have strict that don't let the kids what ever they want at any given time. The teachers put forth effort so that the kids can learn more of what they are suppose to. This school is very excellent school.

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.
