Summary:
The Spartanburg 06 school district in South Carolina is home to 9 elementary schools serving grades Pre-Kindergarten or Kindergarten through 5th grade, with enrollments ranging from 336 to 853 students across the area.
For parents exploring this district, Anderson Mill Elementary is the clear standout, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide (4 stars) and outperforming every other school by 15-30 percentage points in test scores across all subjects. Its 4th grade math proficiency reached 78% in 2025-2026. Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary is another strong choice, consistently ranking in the 66-72nd percentile while boasting the district's lowest chronic absenteeism rate at just 12.4%—less than half the district average of 26.1%. Lone Oak Elementary showed the most dramatic improvement, jumping 90 positions in state ranking in a single year, with particularly strong gains in 4th grade ELA and 5th grade math. On the other end, Jesse S. Bobo Elementary ranks at the bottom (5th percentile) with a 31.9% chronic absenteeism rate, and Woodland Heights Elementary and West View Elementary are both showing concerning downward trends in their rankings.
One of the most striking findings is that per-student spending does not correlate with performance—Woodland Heights spends the most ($17,903 per student) yet ranks in the bottom third, while Pauline-Glenn Springs spends the least ($12,801) and performs well. Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide challenge, with six of nine schools exceeding the state average, and the two lowest-performing schools having rates above 31%. Mathematics shows the widest achievement gaps between schools—Anderson Mill posted 78% proficiency in 4th grade math versus just 17.3% at Jesse S. Bobo. Science proficiency is a universal weakness, even at the top school. Fairforest Elementary offers a solid middle-ground option with consistent performance and the second-lowest absenteeism rate.
