Summary

North Pointe Elementary is a PK-5 school in Anderson, SC, serving 504 students within the Anderson 05 district, and it has consistently ranked among the top 15% of elementary schools in the state for the past decade.

Academically, North Pointe is a standout. In the most recent testing, 5th grade math proficiency hit 70.6%, compared to a district average of just 48.3%, and 4th grade science reached 66.3% proficiency versus 47% district-wide. Reading scores are equally impressive, with 84.7% of 5th graders proficient in ELA. This performance is dramatically higher than some nearby schools—for example, 5th grade ELA proficiency at New Prospect Elementary is 47.1%, and 5th grade math is just 28.3%. The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at 13.1%, less than half the district rate of 24.8% and far better than Whitehall Elementary (34.2%) or New Prospect Elementary (32.1%). This consistency suggests a strong, positive school culture where students are present and engaged.

While the school's state ranking has dipped slightly from its peak (from 46th to 101st), its actual test scores have remained stable or improved, indicating the change is due to other schools improving statewide. One area to watch is a gender gap: female students rank in the 94th percentile statewide, while male students rank in the 76th percentile. However, both groups perform above average. North Pointe also serves its students efficiently, spending about $15,510 per student—higher than some peers but delivering results that far exceed schools with similar or higher spending, like Calhoun Academy of the Arts. For parents, this school offers a proven track record of high achievement, strong attendance, and a clear focus on academic success across all grade levels.
