Summary:

The Anderson 04 school district in South Carolina is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. This high-performing district is ranked 2 out of 75 in the state and has an overall 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in the district are Mt. Lebanon Elementary, ranked 33 out of 640 elementary schools in the state with a 5-star rating, and La France Elementary, ranked 30 out of 640 with a 5-star rating. Both schools have consistently high test scores, with over 70% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The district's only high school, Pendleton High, also performs well, with a 4-star rating, a solid 85.4% 4-year graduation rate, and strong test scores, particularly in Algebra 1 and English 2.

While the district excels in English Language Arts, there is room for improvement in Mathematics, where several schools have proficiency rates below 60%. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is higher than the state average and an area that may require attention. Overall, the Anderson 04 school district is a high-performing system with several standout schools, but there are a few areas, such as Mathematics proficiency and attendance, that could benefit from further improvement efforts.
