Summary:
Spartanburg 06 is a South Carolina school district serving roughly 10,000 students across 13 schools—9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school—in communities including Roebuck, Spartanburg, Moore, and Pauline. The district currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 36th percentile statewide, placing it in the lower-middle tier of South Carolina districts.
For parents, the standout choice is Anderson Mill Elementary, which earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the 78th percentile—far ahead of any other school in the district. Its 4th grade math proficiency rate of 78% is nearly double the district average of 47.6%. Among middle schools, R. P. Dawkins Middle and L. E. Gable Middle both achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra 1 EOCEP exam, dramatically outpacing the district (75.7%) and state (73.95%) averages. Fairforest Elementary and Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary also perform well, with 3-star ratings and the lowest chronic absenteeism rates in the district (16.6% and 12.4%, respectively). On the other end, Jesse S. Bobo Elementary is the district's most significant concern, ranking in the 5th percentile with a 0-star rating and showing a dramatic decline from the 14th percentile the prior year. Arcadia Elementary (14th percentile) and West View Elementary (17th percentile) also struggle significantly.
Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide issue, averaging 26.1%—above the state's 22.3%—with the highest rates at Lone Oak Elementary (32.3%), Jesse S. Bobo Elementary (31.9%), and Dorman High (32.8%). Notably, the highest-spending schools—Woodland Heights Elementary at $17,903 per student, Arcadia Elementary at $16,621, and Jesse S. Bobo Elementary at $15,903—are among the lowest performers, while top-performing Anderson Mill Elementary spends a moderate $13,870. There's also a notable achievement gap between elementary and middle school: Fairforest Elementary's 4th grade math proficiency (60.3%) is nearly double that of Fairforest Middle's 6th grade math (23.4%). Dorman High, the district's only high school serving 3,920 students, exceeds the state graduation rate (88.6% vs. 86.7%) but shows wide subject disparities, with English 2 proficiency (76.14%) far exceeding Algebra 1 (49.15%).
