Summary

Belton Honea Path High serves approximately 1,069 students in grades 9-12 in Honea Path, SC, as part of the highly-rated Anderson 02 district, which ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide.

This school has some real bright spots. Your child will find exceptional support in English and history—the school posted a remarkable 90.69% proficiency on the English 1 exam in 2024-2025, a full 29 points above the state average, and a 75.79% proficiency on the U.S. History exam, outpacing nearby Westside High by nearly 19 points. The graduation rate of 88.5% also edges out the state average. However, there are areas to watch. Chronic absenteeism affects nearly one in four students (23.0%), which is higher than the state average and well above Dixie High's impressive 15.6%. The dropout rate of 3.1% is also higher than the state's 2.1%. In math, Algebra 1 proficiency (77.6%) lags behind the district average by over 5 points, and is dramatically lower than Palmetto High's 92.58%.

Compared to its closest competitor, T. L. Hanna High, Belton Honea Path is closely matched, with similar graduation rates and English performance. The school has shown a strong upward trajectory over the past decade, climbing from the 39th percentile to the 69th percentile statewide. That said, performance for some student groups has been volatile in recent years, particularly for gifted and talented students and those receiving special education services, whose rankings have swung dramatically. The school spends about $11,920 per student, which is in line with peers and appears to be used efficiently given the outcomes achieved.

BELTON HONEA PATH HIGH is a good school,I would like to see the sports programs treat the kids fairly. Let the coaches do the coaching not the parents or the parent paying money to the coaches so there kid can stay on the team, also the black kids get a fair chance in class & on the field. In a small town like Belton & Honea Path race is and always wil be a problem at that school they try to hide it but its known if these problems were fixed it can be a great place for any child to attend school.
