Summary

Pauline-Glenn Springs Elementary is a public school in the rural community of Pauline, SC, serving 482 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Spartanburg 06 district.

This school is a clear academic leader within its district, consistently outperforming the Spartanburg 06 average in every subject and grade level tested over the past three years. For example, in 4th grade math, 66.7% of students are proficient compared to the district average of 47.6%, and in 5th grade ELA, the school hits 67.8% proficiency versus the district's 56.4%. What makes this even more impressive is that the school achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,801) than nearby schools like Woodland Heights Elementary ($17,903) and Pacolet Elementary ($16,799). Another standout strength is attendance—the chronic absenteeism rate is just 12.4%, less than half the district rate of 26.1% and well below the state average of 22.3%. This suggests a welcoming, engaging environment where kids want to show up.

Compared to nearby options, Pauline-Glenn Springs is a strong choice. It significantly outperforms Roebuck Elementary, just 5.9 miles away, by 10-20 percentage points in most subjects. While Anderson Mill Elementary ranks slightly higher overall, Pauline-Glenn Springs achieves similar results with better attendance and larger class sizes. The school's upper-elementary program is particularly strong, even surpassing Pacolet Elementary in 5th grade despite Pacolet being in a higher-ranked district. One area to be aware of: the Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 21st percentile statewide, suggesting the school may not be stretching its highest-achieving students as much as it could. Additionally, recent data shows a dip in rankings for students from low-income backgrounds, so it's worth asking the school how they're supporting all learners.
