Summary

Crosswell Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Easley, SC, serving 554 students within the Pickens 01 district, a well-regarded, 4-star district ranked 17th in the state.

Crosswell is at a crossroads. After years as a solid 3-star school, it has slipped to a 2-star rating over the past two years, dropping from the 61st to the 45th percentile statewide. This is the steepest decline among its immediate peers—while Dacusville Elementary has improved and East End Elementary has held steady, Crosswell has fallen behind both. The school’s math scores are a consistent drag, with 3rd and 4th graders trailing the district average by 12 and 9 points respectively. Science is also a clear weakness, with only 38.7% of 4th graders proficient versus a 51.8% district average. Notably, the school spends more per student ($13,545) than all four of its in-district peers, yet achieves less—a sign that funding alone isn’t the answer. The regional benchmark, Powdersville Elementary, outperforms Crosswell by 20-30 points in nearly every subject while spending less and having larger classes.

Despite these challenges, there are genuine bright spots. Crosswell ranks in the 70th percentile statewide for serving students with disabilities—a remarkable improvement from the 39th percentile just three years ago. It has also ranked #1 in the state for serving homeless students for three consecutive years, earning 5-star ratings. Chronic absenteeism (17.7%) is better than the district (24.3%) and state (22.3%) averages. The school’s 5th-grade ELA cohort (64.1%) is outperforming the state average, showing that progress is possible. The most urgent priorities are reversing the math decline, closing the science gap, and understanding why the school’s strongest-performing student group has regressed so significantly. If Crosswell can replicate its success with disabled students across all subgroups, it has a clear path back to its former standing.
