Summary

Alexander Elementary is a PK-5 school in Greenville, SC, serving 494 students within the Greenville 01 district. This school has undergone one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the state, jumping from the bottom 2% of South Carolina elementary schools to the exact middle of the pack (50th percentile) in just two years—a remarkable climb of nearly 300 ranking positions.

The most impressive story at Alexander is how well it serves students who often face the biggest challenges. The school ranks in the 71st percentile for English Language Learner students and the 77th percentile for students from low-income families—both significantly higher than its overall ranking. With 100% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, this means the entire student body is being served at a level that exceeds most schools statewide. Third-grade reading proficiency has more than doubled from 24% to 58.7% in just three years, and 5th grade reading now sits at 66.1%. The school also outperforms all of its nearby peer schools serving similar demographics, including Monaview Elementary, Hollis Academy, and Berea Elementary, despite having the highest chronic absenteeism rate among them.

The school's biggest remaining challenge is attendance—31.1% of students are chronically absent, nearly 9 points above the state average and far higher than nearby Summit Drive Elementary (13.7%) or Augusta Circle Elementary (2.6%). Yet even with this hurdle, Alexander matches the academic performance of its closest comparable school, Westcliffe Elementary, which has notably better attendance. With a favorable 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending ($15,476), the school has the resources and proven strategies to continue its upward trajectory. The gains appear sustainable, not a one-year fluke, making Alexander a compelling option for families seeking a school that is clearly moving in the right direction.
