Summary

Brushy Creek Elementary in Taylors, SC, is a PK-5 school within the Greenville 01 district, serving 808 students with a consistent 4-star rating that places it in the top 12% of South Carolina elementary schools.

What truly sets Brushy Creek apart is its remarkable success with all types of learners. The school ranks in the 97th percentile statewide for African American students, the 91st percentile for English Language Learners, and the 95th percentile for gifted students—all while maintaining strong proficiency rates in every subject. In fact, math scores run 6-13 percentage points above district averages across all grade levels. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.8%, less than half the district rate of 22.5%. This means your child is far more likely to be in class and learning consistently here than at many nearby options. Interestingly, male students (93rd percentile) outperform female students (84th percentile) in statewide comparisons, a reversal of many national trends that suggests the school has found effective ways to engage boys in learning.

When comparing Brushy Creek to its neighbors, the picture is nuanced. Buena Vista Elementary and Pelham Road Elementary rank slightly higher (96th-97th percentile), but they serve a more affluent population. Brushy Creek achieves its strong results while serving a more economically diverse student body—47% qualify for free or reduced lunch—making its performance particularly impressive. The school also delivers better outcomes per dollar than nearby Mitchell Road Elementary and Brook Glenn Elementary, which spend 16-27% more per student yet rank lower. While GREEN Charter School Greenville has shown higher peaks in recent years, its performance dropped dramatically to the 82nd percentile in 2025-2026, whereas Brushy Creek has never dipped below the 88th percentile in a decade—offering families the stability and consistency that matters most for young learners.
