Summary:
Simpsonville has one listed school, Simpsonville Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 5 with 441 students. In 2025–2026, its average proficiency across the 10 reported grade-and-subject results was 59%, compared with 44% statewide and 39% in the Shelby County district. The most important finding is that the school scored above the state in all 10 results, by 4 to 23 percentage points.
The strongest relative results were fifth-grade reading and writing, each 23 points above the state, and fourth-grade science, 22 points above. The narrowest state advantages were third-grade mathematics, at 4 points, and fifth-grade social studies, at 5 points. The school also exceeded the district in every reported result, by 11 to 28 points. With only one school listed, these results describe its strengths and weaker spots rather than a ranking among local schools.
Overall results improved, but third grade is a notable exception: the school’s average across the 10 results rose from 55% in 2024–2025 to 59% in 2025–2026, while third-grade math fell 17 points to 47% and third-grade reading fell 6 points to 64%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 111th of 684, in the 84th percentile and rated four stars in 2025–2026, an improvement of 43 ranking places and 6 percentile points from the prior year. Chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–2026, versus 17% in the district and 24% statewide. The student–teacher ratio was 18.3 in 2024–2025, and 30% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Because only one school is listed, there is no local school-to-school comparison.
