Summary

Westcliffe Elementary is a small PK-5 school in Greenville, SC, serving 323 students as part of the highly regarded Greenville 01 school district. The school has a high-need student population, with all students qualifying for free/reduced lunch and a significant English Language Learner (ELL) community.

Westcliffe is showing a promising turnaround story. After a dip in state rankings during the pandemic years, the school has rebounded to the 49th percentile (2025-2026), a strong improvement from the 35th percentile just two years prior. The school invests heavily in its students—spending $18,122 per pupil, notably more than nearby schools like Armstrong Elementary ($15,393) or A.J. Whittenberg Elementary ($13,446)—and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1. This investment appears to be paying off, especially in reading. Third and fourth-grade ELA proficiency rates (63.4% and 63.8%) now nearly match the state average and significantly outperform nearby schools like Duncan Chapel Elementary (45.2% and 48.5%). The school is also exceptionally effective with its most vulnerable students, ranking in the 67th percentile for low-income students and the 63rd percentile for ELL students—both well above the school's overall rank.

However, math remains a critical challenge, particularly in upper grades. Only 36% of 5th graders are proficient in math, compared to the state average of 49.1%. Chronic absenteeism (23.3%) is slightly above the district average but better than several nearby schools, including Alexander Elementary (31.1%). While A.J. Whittenberg Elementary, just 3.35 miles away, posts higher overall scores, Westcliffe's progress with its high-needs population is noteworthy. If the school can replicate its reading success in math, it is well-positioned to continue climbing the rankings.
