Summary

Wren High is a public high school located in Piedmont, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,264 students. The school is part of the Anderson 01 school district, which is ranked 3rd out of 75 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wren High consistently ranks among the top high schools in South Carolina, ranking 17th out of 235 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's students perform exceptionally well on End-of-Course (EOCEP) exams, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state and Anderson 01 district averages across subjects like English 1, English 2, U.S. History, and Algebra 1. For example, in 2024-2025, 95.25% of Wren High students were proficient or better in EOCEP English 2, compared to 93.59% in the Anderson 01 district and 86.41% statewide. Wren High also demonstrates strong performance across various student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students.

Wren High outperforms its nearby counterparts, Palmetto High and Powdersville High, in both academic performance and student subgroup outcomes. However, the school's ranking for gifted and talented students is relatively lower, at 10th out of 153 high schools in the state in 2024-2025, suggesting the need for more specialized support and opportunities for its high-achieving students. Additionally, Wren High has experienced some fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rates, an area the school may want to address to ensure continued academic success.
