Summary

Travelers Rest High serves approximately 1,277 students in grades 9-12 in the Greenville 01 school district, located in the foothills of Travelers Rest, SC. The school has earned a 3-star rating from the state and ranks in the 56th percentile statewide, placing it in the middle tier of high schools in the Greenville 01 district.

The most pressing concern for parents to know is chronic absenteeism. About 34% of students are chronically absent—meaning they miss 10% or more of the school year—which is significantly higher than the district average of 22.5%. This likely contributes to the school's graduation rate of 84.5%, which trails the district average of 90.6%, and a dropout rate of 3.1% that is about 50% higher than the state average. While these numbers are concerning, there is positive momentum: the graduation rate has climbed nearly 7 points over the past two years, and the dropout rate has fallen from 4.7% to 3.1% in the same period. For comparison, nearby Blue Ridge High graduates 91.8% of its students, while Berea High graduates just 77.6%.

Academically, the school shows a clear strength in U.S. History, where 78.4% of students score proficient—well above the state average of 62.6%. English 2 proficiency is also solid at 79%, nearly matching the state. However, Algebra 1 proficiency (74%) and English 1 proficiency (59%) lag behind district peers. There are notable differences in performance by student group: female students rank in the 73rd percentile statewide, while male students rank in the 43rd percentile—a 30-point gap that has widened recently. The school has also seen a sharp decline in performance among Hispanic students, dropping from the 59th percentile two years ago to the 18th percentile this year. On a brighter note, African American students have improved for three consecutive years, and gifted students jumped from the 37th to the 65th percentile. With per-student spending of $12,589—comparable to higher-performing schools like Eastside High—the school has resources to work with, but addressing attendance will be key to unlocking further gains.
