Summary

Wren High in Piedmont, SC, is a large public high school serving 1,252 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Anderson 01 school district. The school has earned a 5-star rating and currently ranks 15th out of 245 high schools statewide (94th percentile), making it the top-performing school in its immediate area—ahead of Palmetto High (40th), Powdersville High (30th), and Woodmont High (52nd). What's especially notable is the school's rapid improvement: Wren jumped from the 78th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 94th percentile in just three years, a 16-point gain that outpaces every comparable school in the region.

Wren High stands out for its exceptional results with student groups that often struggle elsewhere. The school ranks 4th out of 136 schools statewide (97th percentile) for its effectiveness with disabled students, and it ranks in the 95th percentile for both Hispanic and African American students—a remarkable 27-percentile-point improvement for the latter group in just two years. Academically, Wren's English 2 proficiency rate of 97.27% is the highest among all nearby schools and far exceeds the state average of 83.79%. The school also maintains a 96.6% graduation rate with a dropout rate of just 0.3%, the lowest in the area and dramatically better than the state average of 2.1%. All of this is achieved while spending $11,171 per student—less than nearby Southside High ($13,571) and Carolina Academy ($13,815), both of which rank far lower statewide.

Despite these strengths, there are a few areas worth watching. Chronic absenteeism has risen sharply from 17.0% to 26.4% over the past three years, now exceeding the state average—though Wren's academic outcomes remain excellent despite this challenge. Algebra 1 proficiency has also been volatile, swinging from 61.4% in 2022-2023 to 95.8% in 2025-2026, and performance with gifted and talented students dropped from the 93rd to the 59th percentile in a single year. Still, the broader picture is clear: Anderson 01 schools consistently outperform neighboring districts like Greenville 01 and Pickens 01, and Wren High is leading the way with efficient spending, strong equity outcomes, and a trajectory that shows no signs of slowing down.
