Summary

Greer High in Greer, SC, serves approximately 1,397 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Greenville 01 school district, a highly-rated district that ranks in the 85th percentile statewide.

The most significant challenge facing Greer High is a persistent chronic absenteeism crisis. With a rate of 39.6% for 2024-2025, nearly 4 in 10 students are chronically absent—a figure that is nearly double the district average (22.5%) and significantly worse than nearby schools like Riverside High (18.4%) and Eastside High (25.5%). This issue has persisted for years and is the primary driver of the school's mid-tier academic ranking (53rd percentile). Despite spending more per student ($13,104) than all comparable area schools, Greer's academic outcomes lag behind neighbors like Blue Ridge High and Wade Hampton High, which achieve higher rankings while spending less. The school also has an elevated dropout rate of 2.6%, higher than the state average and most nearby schools.

However, there are genuine bright spots. Greer High has shown remarkable improvement in graduation rates, climbing from 76.8% to 87.9% over four years—now exceeding the state average. The school also excels at serving students with disabilities (ranking in the 70th-83rd percentile) and English Language Learners (69th-71st percentile), earning 4-star ratings in both areas. English 2 proficiency is a consistent strength, and the school posted a strong 85.32% proficiency rate in Algebra 1 in 2024-2025. The starkest comparison is with Greer Middle College Charter High, just 4 miles away, which achieves a 97th percentile ranking, a 96.9% graduation rate, and only 6.5% chronic absenteeism while spending $2,542 less per student. Reducing absenteeism to district averages represents the clearest opportunity for Greer High to transform its outcomes.
