Summary

Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary is a public elementary school serving 474 students in grades PK-5 in Pauline, South Carolina, which is part of the Spartanburg 06 school district. This school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary had 73.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 56.4% for the district and 61.8% for the state. The school's performance is especially strong in ELA, with 3rd-5th grade proficiency rates ranging from 73.2% to 78.8%, significantly higher than the district and state.

Additionally, the school's 4th grade science proficiency rate of 51.2% is higher than the district (40%) and state (49.1%).

While Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary performs well overall, there are some areas of concern. The school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.5% to 26.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student, ranging from $11,766 to $12,638 over the past few years, is lower than the nearby Woodland Heights Elementary ($15,883) and Pacolet Elementary ($17,244). However, the school's strong academic performance suggests it is able to achieve positive outcomes despite the lower funding levels.
