Summary

Fountain Inn High is a large public high school in Fountain Inn, SC, serving 1,551 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly regarded Greenville 01 school district, which ranks 11th out of 75 districts statewide.

Fountain Inn High is a solid academic performer, ranking 44th out of 245 high schools in South Carolina (82nd percentile) with a 4-star rating. The school shines in English and History, outperforming district and state averages on English 1, English 2, and U.S. History exams. Its graduation rate of 94.5% is well above the state average of 86.7%, and its dropout rate of 0.4% is the lowest among all comparable nearby schools—far better than the district average of 2.0% and peers like J.L. Mann High Academy (2.3%). The school also serves its student subgroups effectively, ranking in the 82nd percentile for African American students and the 86th percentile for disabled students. However, its Algebra 1 proficiency rate (83.74%) is the lowest among nearby Greenville 01 high schools, including Woodmont High (90.41%) and Mauldin High (87.37%).

The most significant concern is chronic absenteeism. At 42.5% for the 2024-2025 school year, this rate is nearly double the district and state averages (both around 22%) and the highest among all nearby schools, including Hillcrest High (30.6%) and Woodmont High (35.9%). This rate has risen sharply from 22.8% in 2022-2023. Despite this challenge, the students who attend regularly perform very well, creating a paradox where high test scores coexist with nearly half the student body missing significant school time. Notably, Brashier Middle College Charter High, just 6 miles away, has a 3.5% chronic absenteeism rate, showing this is not a community-wide issue. The school also spends more per student ($12,383) than all nearby district high schools, yet this investment hasn't translated into lower absenteeism or stronger math scores.
