Summary

Cherrydale Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving 652 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Greenville 01 School District, which is ranked 11th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Cherrydale Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance compared to district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 34.9% to 48.4%, while the district averages were around 70%. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science follows a similar pattern. Additionally, Cherrydale Elementary has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.9% to 24.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Despite the school's overall low performance, Cherrydale Elementary's relatively strong rankings for African American and Hispanic students suggest that there may be opportunities to learn from the school's practices and strategies for these subgroups and apply them more broadly to improve the performance of all students. Nearby magnet schools like Stone Academy and A.J. Whittenberg Elementary consistently rank among the top schools in the state, while other nearby schools, such as Monaview Elementary and Duncan Chapel Elementary, also outperform Cherrydale in academic measures.
