Summary

GREEN Upstate High School Greenville is a small public charter high school in Simpsonville, SC, serving 390 students in grades 9-12 under the School Public Charter School District.

This school stands out most for its exceptional support of students with disabilities—ranking 8th out of 139 schools statewide (94th percentile, 5 stars) in 2024-2025, a level of success no nearby school matches. It also posts a strong 91.8% graduation rate, dramatically outperforming its district average of 77.4%, and shows real strength in English, with 90.53% proficiency on the English 2 exam. The intimate learning environment is a major plus: with an 11.4:1 student-to-teacher ratio, your child will get far more individual attention than at nearby Mauldin High (16.2:1) or J. L. Mann High Academy (24.1:1). The school also operates efficiently, spending $10,600 per student while achieving graduation outcomes comparable to schools spending more.

However, there are concerns to weigh. The school's overall state ranking dropped from 52nd to 100th between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, with declines across nearly every student group. Chronic absenteeism sits at 23.6%, well above the state average and far higher than nearby top performers like Greenville Technical Charter High School (6.8%) and Brashier Middle College Charter High (3.5%). The dropout rate also jumped from 0.6% to 2.8% in one year. While the school's special education success and graduation rates are genuinely impressive, the recent academic slide and attendance challenges suggest the school is navigating a difficult transition. If your child needs strong specialized support, this school is a standout choice—but it's worth asking about how the school plans to address its recent decline.
