District-Level NCES Analysis

Spartanburg 01 operates 10 public schools serving 5,458 students, placing it among the smaller districts in South Carolina. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 combined, 2 high, 2 middle, 1 elementary schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Spartanburg County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,417 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 8 of 74 South Carolina districts by per-pupil spending. See how South Carolina compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 33.4% local, 53.8% state, and 12.8% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 36/100, ranked #56 of 73 in South Carolina against a state average of 51, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 10 schools offering Advanced Placement (28 AP courses district-wide), a 348.6:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 21.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 79.9% White, 7.7% Hispanic or Latino, 5.8% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Inman Intermediate, with a diversity index of 50.6/100.

Its largest campus is Chapman High, enrolling 1,057 students (20% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Landrum Middle, at 218 students, a 5x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.

Chapman High accounts for 19.4% of all Spartanburg 01 student enrollment

That concentration means Spartanburg 01-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Spartanburg 01 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 65.7% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is approaching the 75% concentration-grant threshold; it does not yet unlock the extra funding tier but sits meaningfully above the baseline 50% majority mark. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

Spartanburg 01 student-counselor ratio is 349:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Spartanburg 01 is typically wider than the Spartanburg 01-aggregate figure suggests.

Spartanburg 01 chronic absenteeism rate is 21.1% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Spartanburg 01 is typically wider than the Spartanburg 01-aggregate figure suggests.
