Summary

Mauldin Elementary in Simpsonville, SC, is a large PK-5 school serving about 1,036 students in the Greenville 01 School District, a district rated 4 stars and in the 85th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its remarkable success with students who often face the biggest challenges. For the 2025-2026 school year, Mauldin's Hispanic students rank in the top 16% of all elementary schools in South Carolina, and its English Language Learners rank in the top 12%—a huge improvement from just a few years ago. African American students also perform well, ranking in the top 20% statewide. These are exceptional achievements. However, the school's overall ranking (63rd percentile, 3 stars) is pulled down by a few significant hurdles. The most pressing issue is chronic absenteeism: 26.6% of students miss too many days, which is far higher than nearby schools like Monarch Elementary (5.1%) or Oakview Elementary (7.0%). Math proficiency also lags behind the district by about 10 points in every grade level, and performance tends to dip as students move from 3rd to 5th grade.

It's important to note that Mauldin serves a very different population than its high-performing neighbors. With 72% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, it has far more economic need than schools like Bell's Crossing Elementary or Pelham Road Elementary, yet it spends about $1,000–$1,400 less per student. Despite this funding gap, the school is showing positive momentum: overall rankings have improved for two straight years, and science proficiency (60.9%) beats the state average by 9 points. For parents, this is a school doing impressive work with diverse learners, but one where attendance and math support are critical areas to watch.

Overcrowded, office staff is overworked, limited resources. I would suggest Oak View, Bells Crossing or Bethel. Greenville County also offers many options for charter and choice schools. My child attended one year of Kindergarten, that was enough. Close Quote
