Summary:

Zip code 29642 is home to exactly one high school, Easley High, a large public school serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 1,862 students in the Pickens 01 school district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the top 23% of South Carolina districts.

For parents considering Easley High, the school offers a mix of clear strengths and notable challenges. The most impressive academic highlight is English 2, where the school’s proficiency rate reached 89.01% in the most recent year—well above the state average of 83.79% and even exceeding its own district. The graduation rate is also a positive, sitting at 90.5%, which beats both the district (90.1%) and state (86.7%) averages. However, mathematics is a significant weakness. Algebra 1 proficiency has dropped to 53.67%, a full 10.91 percentage points below the state average, and the school also trails the state in U.S. History by 4.68 points. Performance in English 1 is mixed, showing strong improvement in the latest year but still hovering near the state average. The school’s state ranking has been volatile, bouncing from the 54th percentile in 2023-2024 down to the 43rd in 2024-2025, then rebounding to its best showing at the 59th percentile in 2025-2026.

The most pressing concern for families is chronic absenteeism. At 34.4%, Easley High’s rate is a staggering 12.1 percentage points higher than the state average, meaning more than one in three students misses significant school time. Despite this, the school maintains a strong graduation rate, suggesting effective credit recovery programs. With per-student spending of $10,276 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.8:1, resources are reasonable, but the combination of high absenteeism and lagging math scores indicates that attendance interventions and targeted math support could be key areas for improvement. Overall, Easley High is a solid choice for students strong in English, but families should be aware of the math challenges and attendance issues when evaluating the school.
