Summary

Greenwood High is a large public high school in Greenwood, SC, serving 1,724 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Greenwood 50 school district.

Greenwood High currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the lower third of South Carolina high schools (169th out of 245). While the district itself is rated relatively highly, Greenwood High consistently underperforms its same-district counterpart, Emerald High, which ranks 124th. Test scores reveal notable gaps: only 52.35% of Greenwood students are proficient in English 1 (state average: 60.91%), and just 46.55% are proficient in U.S. History (state average: 62.57%). The school's strongest area is English 2, where 78.31% of students are proficient, close to the state average of 83.79%. The graduation rate is 85.6%, slightly below the state average but improving from 82.1% two years ago. Chronic absenteeism affects 23% of students, higher than the state average and far above Ninety Six High School's rate of just 7.5%.

There are significant differences in academic outcomes among student groups at Greenwood High. White students perform above the state median (65th percentile), while other subgroups rank much lower. The school spends $13,232 per student—less than Emerald High's $16,305—and has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (17.8) than nearby schools like Dixie High (15.6) and Ninety Six (14.2). Just 14 miles away, Dixie High is a 5-star school with 85.53% proficiency in English 1, demonstrating that strong performance is achievable in the region. For parents, the key takeaway is that Greenwood High offers some bright spots, particularly in upper-level English, but faces real challenges in math, history, and supporting all students equitably. The school's improving graduation rate and recent slight ranking uptick offer cautious optimism for the future.
