Summary:
The city of Chesnee, South Carolina is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Spartanburg 02 School District. This district is ranked 8th out of 77 districts in the state and has an overall 5-star rating, indicating strong academic performance across the schools.
Among the standout schools in Chesnee are Chesnee Elementary, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio and strong test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and Carlisle-Foster's Grove Elementary, which also has an impressive student-teacher ratio and high academic achievement. At the middle school level, Chesnee Middle stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio and a top-quartile ranking in the state, while Rainbow Lake Middle has consistently earned a 4-star rating.
Despite relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rates across the schools, the students in Chesnee are generally outperforming state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests the district is effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged students. However, the racial makeup of the schools is not fully representative of the broader community, with a higher percentage of white students compared to the state's overall student population, which could be an area for the district to explore in terms of promoting diversity and inclusion.
