Summary

Blue Ridge High in Greer, SC, serves approximately 1,062 students in grades 9-12 within the Greenville 01 school district, and has recently earned a 4-star rating (86th percentile) after a 5-star showing the previous year.

The most striking thing about Blue Ridge is its exceptional math program. In the most recent school year, a remarkable 90.56% of students scored proficient on the Algebra 1 end-of-course exam—a full 31 points above the district average and 26 points above the state average. This puts Blue Ridge far ahead of nearby schools like Eastside High (64.3%) and James F. Byrnes High (45.8%), and nearly on par with Chapman High (89.9%). Beyond math, Blue Ridge has earned statewide recognition for its support of students with disabilities, ranking #1 out of 139 schools in the state for this subgroup in 2024-2025. The school also excels with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide that same year. Graduation rates have climbed from 84% to 91.8% in just two years, now exceeding both district and state averages.

While Blue Ridge's academic results are impressive, the school does face challenges. Chronic absenteeism sits at 28.5%, notably higher than the district average (22.5%) and much higher than nearby Riverside High (18.4%). English scores are strong but not as dominant as math, with English 2 proficiency at 91% versus the district's 84.5%. Compared to Greer Middle College Charter High—a smaller, more selective school nearby—Blue Ridge achieves its results with a larger, more economically diverse student body, making its performance particularly noteworthy. For parents, Blue Ridge represents a school that is clearly on an upward trajectory, delivering outstanding results in key areas while still having room to grow.
