Welcome to Langston
Focus. Rigor. Leadership. Langston is committed to equipping middle school students who are driven to succeed.
Our Pathway to Success
Langston Charter Middle School is a public charter school in the Charter Institute at Erskine District. There are no academic requirements for enrollment. As a public school receiving state funding, there is no tuition for students residing within the state of South Carolina.
Our school maintains an enrollment of 450 students in 6th – 8th grades. Historically, Langston has always received more applications than there are available openings for the coming year. As a result, in accordance with South Carolina Charter School law, Langston admits all students through a lottery process. We conduct a lottery for each grade level each year, and the results provide the order of selection for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade openings for the following year. Each lottery list becomes the official “wait list” for each grade for the following year. For the 2025-26 school year, we enrolled 180 new 6th grade students via the lottery process and will use the lottery lists generated for both 7th and 8th grades to fill openings as they occur.
