District-Level NCES Analysis
Spartanburg 06 operates 14 public schools serving 11,687 students, placing it among the smaller districts in South Carolina. The school portfolio breaks down into 9 combined, 3 middle, 1 high, 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 $12,908 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half 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 38.8% local, 49.3% state, and 12.0% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 39/100, ranked #50 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 1 of 14 schools offering Advanced Placement (18 AP courses district-wide), a 388.1:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 22.2% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 33.9% White, 30.4% African American, 25.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Dorman High, with a diversity index of 71.6/100.
Its largest campus is Dorman High, enrolling 3,920 students (33% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Spartanburg Six Child Development Center, at 307 students, a 13x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Dorman High accounts for 33.5% of all Spartanburg 06 student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Spartanburg 06-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 06 school enrollment varies 13× across entities
Spartanburg 06 school enrollment ranges from 307 students (lowest) to 3,920 students (highest), a spread of 3,613 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Spartanburg 06 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 78.3% 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). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. 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 06 student-counselor ratio is 388:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Spartanburg 06 chronic absenteeism rate is 22.2% — 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 06 is typically wider than the Spartanburg 06-aggregate figure suggests.
