Summary

Shoally Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Boiling Springs, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 698 students. The school is part of the Spartanburg 02 School District, which is ranked 8th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Shoally Creek Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of South Carolina elementary schools, with strong performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and science. The school's ELA proficiency rates for 3rd-5th graders are above the state and district averages, while its mathematics proficiency is more mixed. Compared to nearby schools in the Spartanburg 02 district, Shoally Creek generally performs on par or slightly better, though some schools outperform it in mathematics.

However, the school faces some challenges, including increasing chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 18.9% to 30.5% in recent years. Additionally, while the school's performance for African American students is particularly strong, ranking in the top 10% of schools in the state, the performance for white students is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom 30%. The school and district should investigate these disparities and implement targeted interventions to address them.
