Summary

Skyland Elementary in Greer, SC, is a large public school serving 760 students in grades PK–5 within the highly regarded Greenville 01 School District. This school is a true academic powerhouse, ranking 20th out of 649 elementary schools in the state (97th percentile) and earning a 5-star rating for six of the last seven years.

What truly sets Skyland apart is its remarkable success with all students, especially those facing economic challenges. With roughly half of its students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, Skyland ranked an incredible 3rd in the entire state for academic performance among low-income students—a feat it has achieved for three consecutive years. This proves the school is effectively closing achievement gaps. Test scores are staggering: 3rd graders hit 91.9% proficiency in ELA (vs. 64.1% statewide) and 89.5% in math (vs. 59.2% statewide). The school also excels with disabled students, ranking 9th in the state, and maintains a chronic absenteeism rate of just 11.4%—half the district average. Interestingly, Skyland achieves these results while spending the same per pupil ($12,294) as its lower-performing neighbors like Taylors Elementary and Chandler Creek Elementary, which rank in the 50th–76th percentiles. Even compared to the smaller, higher-spending Tigerville Elementary (99th percentile), Skyland delivers near-identical results while serving nearly three times the students for $3,800 less per pupil.

While Skyland's "rising tide lifts all boats" approach is exceptional, there are two areas for growth. Math proficiency dips in upper grades—5th grade math is 75.2% (still 26 points above the state average), suggesting a need for enhanced math intervention. Additionally, performance with Gifted and Talented students, while solid at the 81st percentile, is not as elite as its other subgroups. For parents seeking a school that delivers outstanding, equitable outcomes for every child, Skyland is a benchmark not just for Greenville County, but for the entire state of South Carolina.
