Better than 94% of South Carolina elementary schools

Summary

Pine St. Elementary is a PK-5 school in Spartanburg, SC, serving 631 students within the Spartanburg 07 district, and it stands out as one of the highest-performing elementary schools in the state, ranking in the 94th percentile (37th out of 649 schools) with a 5-star rating.

For parents, the most striking takeaway is the school's consistent academic excellence. In the latest testing, Pine St. students scored 20–25 percentage points above state averages in nearly every subject and grade. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency hit 73.6%, compared to just 49.1% statewide, and 4th-grade science reached 77.2% versus 51.6% statewide. This success extends to all learners: students from low-income backgrounds (about 32% of the school) rank in the 84th percentile, and the school has a strong track record supporting students with disabilities. The school also maintains an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.9%, a fraction of the district's 28.7%—a clear sign that kids are engaged and families are involved.

The contrast with nearby schools is dramatic. While Jesse Boyd Elementary is the next-best in the district at the 70th percentile, Pine St. outperforms it by 157 state ranking positions. The gap is even wider with Mary H. Wright Elementary, which ranks in the 9th percentile and has a chronic absenteeism rate of 40.3%. Pine St. even outpaces the local charter, Meeting Street Academy-Spartanburg, in 5th-grade ELA (85% vs. 72.7%) and science (77.2% vs. 50%). Notably, Pine St. achieves these results while spending less per student ($15,117) than several lower-performing district peers, making it a model of both excellence and efficiency.
