Summary

Robert E. Cashion Elementary is a large PK-5 school in Greenville, SC, serving 964 students within the highly-ranked Greenville 01 school district, though the school itself performs below the caliber of its district peers.

Cashion serves a high-poverty population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. While the school's overall state ranking sits in the 41st percentile, it shows a notable disparity in how it serves different student groups—performing significantly better for its African American and Hispanic students (65th and 66th percentiles) than for its White students (37th percentile). The most concerning area is for students with disabilities, where the school ranks in the 13th percentile with a 1-star rating. Academically, the school trails the district average by 10-20 percentage points in both ELA and math across all grade levels. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency is 40% at Cashion compared to 60.9% district-wide. However, there is a positive trend in early literacy: 3rd-grade ELA proficiency has climbed steadily from 42.8% in 2023-2024 to 66.7% in 2025-2026, now actually exceeding the state average.

A clear pattern emerges within the school's own grade levels. While 3rd-graders outperform the state average in both ELA (66.7% vs. 64.1%) and math (60.5% vs. 59.2%), proficiency rates drop dramatically by 4th and 5th grade, falling well below state averages. This "middle school slump" suggests challenges in sustaining academic growth in upper elementary grades. Chronic absenteeism is a persistent concern, hovering around 21-22% for four years—significantly higher than nearby high-performing schools like Plain Elementary (13.5%), Bethel Elementary (15.7%), and Greenbrier Elementary (14.7%). Per-student spending has increased to $12,321, yet the school still outperforms Thomas E. Kerns Elementary (32nd percentile), which spends significantly more per student, suggesting that funding alone doesn't drive success.

I have never had any issues with the staff or teachers but I am confused. Why is REC 299th out of 500 if every local I have met since moving to this state brags over the school? What can be done to correct this? Looking up stats for the entire stat on digger it seems REC could be doing more but they are not, what are they missing?

3 of 5 stars due to concern for child's well being at a school that is only receiving about half of what I expected. Close Quote

Although my children are successful at this school because of the wonderful teachers they have, I am so disappointed in the most disrespectful, and blatantly rude office staff. Not just as a parent but as a school volunteer I want to avoid the office all together. They are not friendly in any way, they are not helpful, and they treat everyone poorly. The Worst office staff ever! They need to replace them. If. Could I would send them somewhere else! Those office people are suppose to be the first people we meet. Very Unhappy, but so happy with the teachers my children have, I'm willing to continue with the school and not pull kids out and homeschool praying that district gets rid of office staff.

All three of my children have been successful at Robert E Cashion. All of which were in challenge and/or BETA. They have very helpful teachers, allowing them to always be on the honor roll. Close Quote
