Sumter County Primary School (which housed grades Pre-K thru second), was reconfigured to house only first and second graders. Sumter County Elementary School (which housed grades three thru fifth) was reconfigured to house only third and fourth graders. The former Sumter County Middle School (which housed sixth through eighth graders) was changed to Sumter County Intermediate School, and housed grades five and six.
