Summary

Tigerville Elementary is a small, rural school in Taylors, SC, serving 268 students in grades PK through 5 within the Greenville 01 school district.

This school is an academic standout. In the 2025-2026 school year, Tigerville ranked 7th out of 649 elementary schools in the state, placing it in the 99th percentile. Its test scores are dramatically higher than district and state averages. For example, 4th-grade science proficiency is 97.5%, compared to 67.2% for the district and 51.6% for the state. Similarly, 4th-grade math proficiency is 92.5%, versus 60.9% for the district. Among nearby schools, only Skyland Elementary (ranked 20th) comes close; other schools like Paris Elementary (57th), Gateway Elementary (40th), and Taylors Elementary (159th) lag significantly behind.

What makes Tigerville truly unique is its success with students from low socio-economic backgrounds. Roughly half of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet the school ranks #1 in the state for serving these students. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 8.9%, far below the district rate of 22.5% and much lower than nearby schools like Chandler Creek Elementary (20.2%) or Crestview Elementary (24.9%). With a student-teacher ratio of 12.1:1, the school provides individualized attention that helps every child succeed. While 5th-grade math (79.2% proficient) is a relative area for focus, it still far exceeds district and state averages. Tigerville proves that a school can achieve exceptional results regardless of economic challenges.
