Summary:
The city of Campobello, South Carolina, is served by three public schools within the Spartanburg 01 school district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 80th percentile statewide, offering education from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade to nearly 1,900 students.
For parents, Campobello-Gramling School stands out as the most consistent and efficient option. As the largest school serving grades PK-8, it maintains a steady 3-star rating while improving its percentile ranking each year. It has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the city at 18.6% and the most efficient spending at $10,722 per student. Its 3rd grade performance is particularly strong, with 75.3% ELA and 76.4% Math proficiency, and it showed a remarkable 17.9-point jump in 7th grade math. In contrast, Holly Springs-Motlow Elementary presents a paradox: despite having a troubling 32.7% chronic absenteeism rate—far above district and state averages—its attending students perform well academically, even outpacing the district in several subjects. However, this school shows significant declines in upper grades, particularly 6th grade, where math proficiency dropped 14.7 points.
Landrum High is the academic leader with a 94.1% graduation rate and a dropout rate of just 1.0%, both better than state averages. However, its state ranking fell dramatically from 42nd to 112th in one year, driven by declines across all EOCEP exams, including a 10.37-point drop in U.S. History and a notable weakness in Algebra 1 (59.65% proficiency vs. 64.58% statewide). A city-wide concern is the widespread decline in 2025-2026, with 15 of 28 subject-grade combinations showing drops, particularly in upper grades. Both elementary schools also share a consistent weakness in 4th grade math, suggesting a curriculum transition issue that warrants targeted intervention.
