Summary

Shoally Creek Elementary is a PK-5 school in Boiling Springs, SC, serving 742 students within the highly regarded Spartanburg 02 district, which ranks in the 91st percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its remarkable success with students who often face the greatest challenges. Despite 84% of its students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, Shoally Creek ranks in the 78th percentile for low-income student performance—a 4-star rating that far exceeds expectations. Even more striking, its African American students perform in the 90th-92nd percentile statewide, earning 5-star ratings two years running. This is a school that clearly knows how to support historically underserved populations. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism at 19.8%, below the state average of 22.3%, which is impressive given its high poverty rate. Academically, the picture is mixed but improving. While 3rd grade math has slipped slightly (58.3% proficiency vs. the district's 68.9%), 5th grade math actually beats the district average (57.9% vs. 55.2%), and 4th grade ELA exceeds it (73.9% vs. 71.4%). Science scores are climbing too, from 44.4% to 54.5% proficiency in one year.

Compared to nearby schools, Shoally Creek sits in the middle of its district—behind Oakland Elementary (80th percentile) and Carlisle-Foster's Grove Elementary (77th percentile), but ahead of Boiling Springs Elementary (48th percentile). It significantly outperforms schools in nearby Spartanburg 06 and Spartanburg 07 districts, though Cannons Elementary in Spartanburg 03 outranks it despite similar demographics. With a favorable 14.5:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $11,644 (lower than most peers), Shoally Creek achieves impressive equity-focused results with modest resources. Its overall trajectory is positive, climbing from the 57th to 66th percentile in two years.
