Greenville 01

The Greenville 01 school district in South Carolina is home to 88 schools, including 52 elementary schools, 20 middle schools, 14 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district as a whole performs very well, with the majority of its schools ranking in the top half of the state. Several standout schools include Riverside High, Blue Ridge High, Oakview Elementary, and Augusta Circle Elementary, all of which have exceptional test scores, graduation rates, and overall performance.

The district's high schools have a consistent 85.4% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average, and a relatively low 2.3% dropout rate. However, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is an area for improvement. In terms of test scores, Greenville 01 students outperform the state average, with 85.64% of high school students proficient or better in Algebra 1, compared to 73.95% statewide.

While the district as a whole is high-performing, there is a significant gap in performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones. Identifying and replicating the best practices of the exceptional schools, while also addressing the needs of the lower-performing ones, could help the district continue to provide an excellent education for all its students.
