Summary:

The Greenville 01 school district in South Carolina serves 15 high schools (grades 9-12) and holds a strong 4-star district rating, ranking 11th out of 75 districts statewide. While the district overall outperforms state averages in English and History, individual school performance varies dramatically, creating a wide gap between top-tier schools and those struggling with attendance and math proficiency.

For parents seeking top academic performers, Riverside High is the clear standout, earning 5-star ratings for three consecutive years and ranking 20th in the state. It leads the district in English 1 (87.32% proficiency), U.S. History (85.98%), and has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 18.4%. Blue Ridge High is another excellent choice, posting the district's highest Algebra 1 proficiency (90.56%) and showing remarkable improvement from 62nd to 19th in state rankings. Mauldin High offers consistent 4-5 star performance with the second-highest graduation rate (96.2%). At the other end, Carolina Academy (High) faces significant challenges with a 12th percentile state rank, 51.8% chronic absenteeism, and a 76.6% graduation rate—the lowest in the district. Berea High also struggles with a 77.6% graduation rate and 3.9% dropout rate.

Mathematics is the district's biggest weakness—8 of 11 schools fall below the state average in Algebra 1, with Wade Hampton High particularly concerning at just 22.59% proficiency. Chronic absenteeism strongly correlates with performance; the three lowest-ranked schools all exceed 40% absenteeism. Interestingly, higher per-student spending doesn't guarantee success—Carolina Academy spends the most ($13,815) yet ranks last, while Mauldin High spends the least ($11,831) and excels. Fountain Inn High, a newer school, shows promise with a 94.5% graduation rate and 0.4% dropout rate but needs to address its 42.5% absenteeism. The remaining schools—including Woodmont High, J. L. Mann High Academy, Hillcrest High, and others—form a solid middle tier with room for improvement, particularly in mathematics.
