Summary

Boiling Springs Elementary is a public elementary school serving 854 students in grades PK-5 in Boiling Springs, South Carolina. It is part of the Spartanburg 02 school district, which is ranked 8th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Boiling Springs Elementary generally ranks in the middle to upper-middle range among schools in its district, outperforming nearby schools like Fairforest Elementary and Lone Oak Elementary in the Spartanburg 06 district. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in the upper elementary grades. Boiling Springs Elementary also performs well with its English Language Learner and minority/low-socioeconomic status student subgroups.

However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 17.0% in 2020-2021 to 30.5% in 2022-2023. This is significantly higher than the state and district averages. While the school's funding and resources appear adequate, there may be opportunities to further invest in areas that could improve student outcomes, such as targeted interventions or additional support staff.

No parent/teacher communication and no concern for my child as an individual. Is only concerned with the "overall picture" or "students as a whole". Very disappointed with this school. Close Quote
