Summary

Bell's Crossing Elementary is a large, high-performing K-5 public school in Simpsonville, SC, serving 877 students within the Greenville 01 school district. This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for ten consecutive years, and while its most recent state ranking of 65th (90th percentile) is a slight dip from its historical peak, it remains a top-tier institution with several standout strengths.

One of the most impressive things about Bell's Crossing is how well it supports students who often face extra challenges. In the 2024-2025 school year, its students from low-income backgrounds ranked in the 96th percentile statewide, and its disabled student population ranked in the 97th percentile in 2025-2026—placing it 4th out of 154 schools in the state. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.8%, compared to 22.5% for the district and 22.3% for the state. This strong attendance culture is a key driver of success. Academically, the school shines brightest in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates in 2024-2025 ranging from 84.4% to 88.1% across grades 3-5, outpacing district and state averages by 14-22 percentage points.

While Bell's Crossing outperforms nearby Greenbrier Elementary, Bethel Elementary, Mauldin Elementary, and Simpsonville Elementary, it is not the top performer in its immediate area—Monarch Elementary and Oakview Elementary both rank higher statewide. There are a couple of areas worth watching: math proficiency drops notably from 3rd grade (85.6%) to 4th and 5th grades (around 66%), and the school's Gifted and Talented program, while still solid, has slipped from the 81st to the 63rd percentile over the past few years. Still, with effective resource use and a proven track record of closing achievement gaps, Bell's Crossing remains an excellent choice for most families.
