Top 20 Upstate Elementary Schools

Upstate SC (Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, Pickens, Oconee, Greenwood, and Laurens Counties) has a combined 162 elementary schools. Like all public schools, elementary schools are given a South Carolina State Report Card Grade annually. For the purposes of ranking these schools, data from the 2022-2024 Academic years (post-pandemic) are being used. The average score on the state report card for these years is the basis for ranking each school. Because there are so many elementary schools, the list will include the top 20. A comprehensive list of elementary school rankings is also available.

The school’s name is linked to the school profile/website and the district is linked to the latest (2024) Report Card for the school.
