Congrats to Greenville County Schools!!

Reaching New Heights! At Hillcrest Middle School, we are joining the celebration!

For the first time in Greenville County Schools’ history, the graduation rate has surpassed 90 percent—reaching 90.6% for the Class of 2025, an 18-point increase since 2012! Additionally, 85% of the graduating class earned College/Career Ready status, and 97.7% of Greenville County schools rated Excellent, Good, or Average on the State Report Card. This tremendous progress is a win for our entire community, and you’re a part of it! We are proud—but not finished. Together, we’ll keep the momentum going and ensure students continue to graduate with the skills, credentials, and confidence to succeed in college, the military, or the workforce!
