Easley High

Summary:

Easley High is a public high school located in Easley, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,904 students. The school is part of the Pickens 01 school district, which is ranked 16 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Easley High has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 66.7% White, 10.61% African American, 15.91% Hispanic, and 5.99% two or more races. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 64.65%, higher than the nearby schools. However, Easley High's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on End-of-Course (EOCEP) exams, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Easley High's proficiency rates were 60.6% in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, 61.56% in English 1, and 50.24% in U.S. History and the Constitution, compared to the state averages of 72.5%, 62.89%, and 58.77%, respectively.

While Easley High's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Pickens High and Wren High, it outperforms some of the more socioeconomically disadvantaged schools in the Greenville district, such as Southside High and Carolina Academy (High). However, Easley High's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 69 out of 231 South Carolina high schools in the 2015-2016 school year to 107 out of 235 in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting the school may need to focus on improving academic outcomes, particularly for its Hispanic and White student populations.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
