GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

One of the worst schools I’ve ever been too. Mean children, poor teaching (most classes I ended up having to teach myself). Fights are constantly happening, They’re intruder lock downs at least twice every four weeks. Based on that review I’d hope you not send to your child to bates middle school.

I’ve been a student at this school it was really terrible,to much fights and drama. When bullies mess with people and the people who are getting bullied don’t get defended for it. Kids are really mean and are bad

Bates is great! It is a STEAM Project Based Learning school. The teachers work very hard to provide excellent learning opportunities to students. There are very few to no discipline issues. Any issues that do arise are taken care of immediately and fairly by the administration.

This is an unsafe and unproductive school. It is ranked 243 of 259 middle schools in SC. Avoid if possible.
