Summary

Anderson Mill Elementary is a public school in Moore, SC, serving 629 students in grades PK–5 within the Spartanburg 06 district. This school has shown a steady climb in statewide rankings over the past decade, moving from the 65th percentile in 2015–2016 to the 78th percentile today, earning a solid 4-star rating.

What truly sets Anderson Mill apart is how consistently it outperforms nearby schools in the same district. In 4th-grade math, 78% of Anderson Mill students scored proficient, compared to just 44% at Roebuck Elementary, 24% at West View Elementary, and 17% at Jesse S. Bobo Elementary. The school also excels with students who often struggle elsewhere—it ranks in the top 10% statewide for both disabled students and African American students, showing that its teaching methods work across all populations. Even more impressive, Anderson Mill achieves these results while spending about $3,000–$4,000 less per student than several of its lower-performing peers, indicating strong resource management.

One area for improvement is the Gifted and Talented program, which ranks in the bottom quartile statewide—a surprising contrast given the school's overall success. Chronic absenteeism sits at 18.5%, below the state average and better than most nearby schools. While River Ridge Elementary in the neighboring Spartanburg 05 district edges out Anderson Mill in overall ranking, Anderson Mill actually beats River Ridge in 4th-grade math (78% vs. 65.5%). For parents seeking a school that delivers strong academics, especially in math, while effectively supporting diverse learners, Anderson Mill is a standout choice in the Moore area.
