Summary:

The eight elementary schools in Anderson 01, a top-ranked district in South Carolina, serve a mix of grade configurations from PK-2 at Concrete Primary to PK-5 at most others, with enrollment ranging from 361 at West Pelzer Elementary to 804 at Spearman Elementary.

For parents, the standout academic performer is Wren Elementary, which consistently ranks in the 96th percentile statewide and posts the highest ELA scores, averaging 84.2% proficiency in 2025-2026. Spearman Elementary is a close rival, leading in math with 78.6% average proficiency and excelling in 4th-grade science at 80%, well above the district average of 65.5%. Hunt Meadows Elementary offers a model of efficiency, with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (9.9%) and a strong 85th-percentile ranking. On the other end, Palmetto Elementary lags significantly, with math proficiency around 49.7% and a 51st-percentile state ranking, making it the clear outlier in this otherwise high-achieving district. West Pelzer Elementary spends the most per student ($14,604) and has the smallest class sizes (11.4 ratio), yet its mid-pack ranking shows money doesn't guarantee top results.

Key takeaways include a consistent challenge in math, especially in 5th grade, where proficiency drops sharply at schools like Wren Elementary (62.3% math vs. 81.6% ELA). There's also a notable performance dip between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years at several schools, such as West Pelzer Elementary's 4th-grade math falling from 78.6% to 55.8%. Chronic absenteeism is low district-wide at 17.5%, with Cedar Grove Elementary the only school exceeding that rate. Overall, parents will find a district with excellent options, but should weigh school-specific strengths in math, science, and attendance when choosing.
