Summary

Easley High is a public high school located in Easley, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,885 students. It is part of the Pickens 01 School District, which is ranked 17 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Easley High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 69 out of 231 schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 133 out of 235 schools in 2024-2025, its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school struggles with Hispanic, White, Multi-racial, and Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom quartile of the state for these groups, while male students and English Language Learners perform relatively well. Easley High's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 83.8% and 88.7% over the past few years, which is slightly below the district and state averages, and the school's dropout rate has also been higher than the district and state, ranging from 2.3% to 2.8%. Additionally, Easley High has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 22.5% to 31.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Easley High's performance is generally lower than Pickens High and Liberty High, which are also part of the Pickens 01 School District. However, Easley High outperforms some of the Greenville County schools, such as Berea High and Carolina Academy, in certain subject areas. The school's socioeconomic factors, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and relatively low spending per student compared to nearby schools, may contribute to its challenges.
