Brushy Creek Elementary consistently ranks among the top 15% of elementary schools in South Carolina, with students performing significantly better than state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, 76.2% of 3rd graders, 74.2% of 4th graders, and 77% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 61.8%, 63.5%, and 62.5% at the state level, respectively.

The school outperforms most nearby schools in the Greenville 01 district, including Paris Elementary, Lake Forest Elementary, and Taylors Elementary, in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.6% in 2020-2021 to 24.7% in 2022-2023, which is an area that the school and district may need to address.
