Summary

Easley High in Easley, SC, serves approximately 1,862 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Pickens 01 school district, which ranks 17th out of 75 districts statewide. The school recently improved its overall state ranking from 133rd to 101st out of 245 South Carolina high schools, earning a 3-star rating and showing positive momentum after a dip the previous year.

Easley High stands out for its exceptional support of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 58th out of 238 schools statewide for this group—a dramatic 70-position jump in a single year. The school also performs notably well with African American students, ranking 57th out of 198 schools (71st percentile), which is particularly impressive given that roughly 60-65% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. English 2 proficiency is a consistent strength, with 89% of students scoring proficient, exceeding both district and state averages. Graduation rates have improved steadily to 90.5%, surpassing the state average of 86.7%. However, chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge at 34.4%, well above the district (24.3%) and state (22.3%) averages. Algebra 1 proficiency is another area of concern, with only 53.67% of students scoring proficient compared to 64.58% statewide, and this rate has declined over the past two years.

When compared to nearby schools, Easley High occupies a middle position. It outperforms several Greenville 01 schools like Berea High and Carolina Academy (High), but trails significantly behind Wren High (ranked 15th) and Powdersville High (ranked 30th) in the Anderson 01 district. Within its own district, Easley ranks below Pickens High (74th) but above Liberty High (164th). Notably, Easley spends $10,276 per student—less than most nearby schools—yet achieves respectable results, suggesting a solid return on investment. The school's support for Hispanic students, however, remains a persistent gap, ranking in the 19th percentile statewide, which contrasts sharply with its strong performance for other student groups.
