Best Public Schools in Easley, SC

Summary:

The city of Easley, South Carolina is home to 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve students across the Pickens 01 and Anderson 01 school districts, as well as the School Public Charter School District.

Among the standout schools in Easley are Concrete Primary, which has the highest student-teacher ratio and free/reduced lunch rate in the Anderson 01 District, and Forest Acres Elementary, which ranks 91st out of 644 South Carolina elementary schools and outperforms district and state averages on test scores. Additionally, Dacusville Middle stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio among Pickens 01 District middle schools.

The data reveals stark contrasts in school performance, with some institutions like McKissick Academy of Science and Technology excelling and others like Lakes and Bridges Charter School struggling significantly on test scores. There also appears to be a correlation between high poverty rates, as measured by free/reduced lunch eligibility, and lower academic achievement in schools like West End Elementary and Crosswell Elementary.
