Summary

Townville Elementary is a small, tight-knit school in Townville, SC, serving 243 students in grades PK-6 as part of the highly-rated Anderson 04 district.

This school stands out for achieving excellent academic results despite serving a student body where nearly 80% qualify for free or reduced lunch. In fact, its students from low-income backgrounds rank in the 96th percentile statewide—a remarkable feat that places it ahead of many schools in more affluent areas. The school also boasts exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at just 6.3%, compared to 22.3% statewide and rates as high as 31.3% at nearby Blue Ridge Elementary. Parents will also appreciate the small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1 and higher per-student spending ($19,250) than peers like Pendleton Elementary ($14,569) or Clemson Elementary ($12,112). Early grades are a particular strength—3rd graders hit 87.6% proficiency in English and 87.5% in math, far exceeding state averages.

However, there are some challenges to be aware of. Math proficiency steadily declines as students advance, dropping from 87.5% in 3rd grade to just 56.3% in 6th grade—a 31-point gap that leaves 6th graders below the district average. Similarly, 6th grade science proficiency (50.1%) lags significantly behind the district (71.4%). The school's small size also means test scores can swing noticeably from year to year depending on the strengths of individual classes. While La France Elementary and Mt. Lebanon Elementary rank slightly higher overall, Townville's exceptional results with economically disadvantaged students and its strong early-grade foundation make it a compelling choice for families seeking a supportive, high-investment environment.
