Reaching Higher - GCS Advantage

Reaching Higher at Greenville County Schools! At Wade Hampton High School, we are celebrating GCS as one of the first school districts in South Carolina to earn the 90-90-90 milestone by surpassing 90% in all three major achievement areas: reaching a 92.2% Graduation Rate for the Class of 2026, 90.5% of the graduating class earning College/Career Ready status, and 98.9% of Greenville County schools rated Excellent, Good, or Average on the State Report Card. This is a powerful reflection of the GCS Advantage in action, where we have Stronger Communities, Greater Opportunities! To learn more about the celebration, visit GCS’s website. 

A Record-Breaking Year at Wade Hampton High School!

History is made at Wade Hampton High School! 

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our highest school report card score in school history since the current school report card metrics began in 2018. In 2026, Wade Hampton increased in every category! This outstanding progress reflects the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our students, teachers, staff, and entire school community.

90/90! For the first time in school history, Wade Hampton has exceeded 90% in both Graduation Rate and College and Career Readiness (CCR)! We are proud of our CCR graduates, with 217 graduates earning Completer status and 132 graduates gaining valuable work-based learning experiences to help prepare them for life beyond high school. Our graduation rate is 92.2% (up from 87.4% in 2025), and College and Career Ready is 90.8% (up from 81.2%). 

Academic Achievement (Algebra 1 and English 2) earned the most points in this category than ever before.

We achieved a six-year high in Preparing for Success, with measurable growth in student achievement. Our students made significant academic gains, with a 6.1% increase in proficiency for Biology and a 10.7% increase in proficiency for U.S. History this past year! 

High School Student Success: We earned our highest percentage of points in school history, with growth in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade promotion rates. Our Freshman Academy led the way with an outstanding 94.8% promotion rate!

These achievements reflect the hard work, dedication, and grit of our entire school community!

At Wade Hampton, we are Leading Like Generals!
