Summary

Duncan Chapel Elementary is a PK-5 school in Greenville, SC, serving 619 students within the Greenville 01 school district—a district ranked in the top 15% of South Carolina. The school itself, however, faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom third of elementary schools statewide (33rd percentile, 2 stars) and serving a student body where 100% qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most pressing issue is chronic absenteeism. At 27.6%, Duncan Chapel's rate is nearly four times higher than nearby Paris Elementary (7.6%) and more than double that of Stone Academy (10.6%). This pattern has persisted for years and directly correlates with academic gaps. In 3rd grade ELA, only 45.2% of Duncan Chapel students are proficient, compared to 83.5% at Stone Academy and 85.2% at Summit Drive Elementary. The math gap widens by 5th grade, where proficiency drops to 38.6%—a stark contrast to Stone Academy's 87.6%. Interestingly, Duncan Chapel spends $13,748 per student, which is less than several lower-performing nearby schools like Westcliffe Elementary ($18,122) and Monaview Elementary ($16,037), yet more than the higher-performing Paris Elementary ($12,059).

There are bright spots. The school has shown recent improvement, climbing from the 29th to 33rd percentile, and ELA proficiency has risen across all grade levels. African American students rank in the 64th percentile statewide—a dramatic jump from the 33rd percentile two years ago—and science scores (47.4%) are close to the state average. However, Hispanic students and English Language Learners remain areas of concern, ranking in the 19th and 27th percentiles respectively. The school's decade-long decline from the top 40% of schools to the bottom third suggests that targeted efforts around attendance, upper-grade math instruction, and language support will be critical to reversing the trend.
