Summary

Eastside High in Taylors, SC, is a large public high school serving 1,490 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-ranked Greenville 01 school district. The school has maintained a solid 4-star rating for the past decade and currently ranks 49th out of 245 schools statewide, placing it in the 80th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year.

Eastside's greatest strengths lie in its graduation rates and humanities instruction. With a 95.1% graduation rate, the school significantly outperforms the state average (86.7%) and is competitive with its top-performing neighbor, Riverside High (95.4%). The school also excels in English 2, where 87.59% of students demonstrate proficiency, and in U.S. History, where 79.18% are proficient—well above district and state averages. However, parents should be aware of a concerning trend: Algebra 1 proficiency has plummeted from 84.32% in 2023-2024 to just 64.3% in 2025-2026, now falling below the state average and significantly behind peers like Riverside High (86.29%) and Wade Hampton High (83.76%). This 20-point drop in two years suggests a potential issue with math instruction or curriculum alignment that warrants attention.

Chronic absenteeism remains a persistent challenge, with 25.5% of students missing significant school days—higher than the district (22.5%) and state (22.3%) averages, and notably worse than Riverside High (18.4%). While the school serves its White, African American, and low-income students very well (ranking in the 76th-82nd percentile statewide), recent data shows a sharp decline in outcomes for Hispanic students (dropping from the 73rd to 44th percentile) and for students with disabilities (falling from the 92nd to 65th percentile). At $12,487 per student, spending is slightly higher than district peers, and the school appears to use resources effectively overall—though the math decline may call for reallocating funds toward intervention programs. For families considering Greenville Technical Charter High or Greer Middle College Charter High, those top-10 schools offer near-perfect graduation rates but are smaller and may have selective admissions.
