Summary

Whitehall Elementary is a PK-5 school in Anderson, SC, serving 504 students within the Anderson 05 district, and it has earned a 3-star rating while showing a steady upward trend in recent years.

One of the most encouraging things about Whitehall is how well it supports its students. The school serves a population where 100% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet it performs notably better with these students than many schools with similar demographics—ranking in the 69th percentile for low-income students, which is higher than its overall ranking. It also shows particular strength in 3rd-grade math, where 65.5% of students scored proficient, beating both the district and state averages. When compared to nearby schools, Whitehall outperforms New Prospect Elementary (a 1-star school) by wide margins in every subject, and it also edges out Centerville Elementary in most areas. However, it trails higher-performing neighbors like North Pointe Elementary and Concord Elementary, both of which have much lower chronic absenteeism rates.

The biggest concern for Whitehall is attendance. The chronic absenteeism rate jumped to 34.2% in 2024-2025—the highest among all comparable schools in the area and well above the state average of 22.3%. This is especially puzzling because the school has improved its academic rankings during the same period, suggesting that its teaching strategies are effective enough to overcome significant attendance challenges. If attendance could be improved, the school's already-strong results with its student population could translate into even better outcomes. There are also a couple of areas to watch: 4th-grade math dipped notably this year, and 4th-grade science (38.6% proficient) trails the state by 13 points. Still, with strong early-grade instruction and a clear upward trajectory, Whitehall is a school making meaningful progress.
