Summary:
The School Public Charter School District in South Carolina is home to 10 high schools that vary in size, performance, and student demographics. While the district's overall graduation rate matches the state average, there is a significant gap in academic achievement between the top-performing and lowest-performing schools.
The standout schools in the district are Greer Middle College Charter High and Greenville Technical Charter High School, which are consistently ranked among the best high schools in the state. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with over 90% proficiency in many subject areas, and very high graduation rates. Palmetto Scholars Academy also performs well, ranking in the top 40 high schools in the state.
In contrast, School Whitmore School is the lowest-performing school in the district, ranking in the bottom quarter of high schools statewide. Its test scores are significantly below the district and state averages. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is also a concern, and the wide range in spending per student, from $7,922 to $22,008, suggests that funding levels may play a role in the quality of education provided at each school.
