Summary

Berea High in Greenville, SC, serves approximately 1,250 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Greenville 01 school district, a district ranked in the top 15% of South Carolina. The school has historically ranked in the lower quartile of state high schools, though it shows a complex mix of strengths and challenges that are important for parents to understand.

One of the most notable bright spots is the school's exceptional performance with its Gifted and Talented students, who have ranked in the 70th-90th percentile statewide in recent years—a sign that advanced coursework is rigorous and effective. Additionally, the school has demonstrated sustained success with its African American students, ranking in the 60th-64th percentile statewide, which is dramatically better than the school's overall performance. This suggests that certain instructional approaches are working well and could be expanded. However, the school faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 39.3%—nearly double the district and state averages of about 22%. This is a critical issue, as attendance is strongly linked to academic success. The school also saw a dramatic collapse in Algebra 1 proficiency in 2025-2026, dropping to 28.57% from 67.11% the prior year, a decline that demands immediate attention.

Compared to nearby schools, Berea trails higher-performing peers like Wade Hampton High (77th percentile) and Greenville Senior High Academy (66th percentile), but it outperforms Carolina Academy (12th percentile) despite similar demographic challenges. On a positive note, the graduation rate has improved significantly, rising from 67.8% in 2022-2023 to 77.6% in 2024-2025. With per-student spending of $12,811—higher than many better-performing schools—the issue isn't funding but how resources are deployed. Parents should ask about attendance interventions and math support when considering this school.

Wednesday, April 24, 2019

the school has so many unnecessary rules and the school charge students for everything which causes students to lose their temper and making the school hard to control the students and most of the teachers have favorite students in their class and just ignore the other students Close Quote
