School Public Charter School District

The School Public Charter School District in South Carolina operates 38 public charter schools serving a range of grade levels, including 17 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 10 high schools, and 8 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 30 out of 75 districts in the state and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out for their exceptional performance. Greer Middle College Charter High and Greenville Technical Charter High School are both ranked in the top 10 high schools in the state and have 5-star ratings, with over 90% proficiency in multiple subject areas. Other high-performing schools include Palmetto Scholars Academy, Tall Pines STEM Academy, and Youth Leadership Academy, all of which have 4-star ratings and strong academic results.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in the district. While some schools excel, others struggle with proficiency rates below 30%. The district's high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% across all schools is also a concern that likely impacts student learning. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending, from $7,922 to $51,710, suggests a need to ensure equitable funding and efficient resource allocation to support all students in the district.
