The terrain varies from steep mountains in the north, including the state's highest mountain Sassafras Mountain (3548') to gently rolling hills in the south. The waters of Lake Hartwell, Lake Keowee, and Lake Jocassee comprise the western boundary of the county.
The district is composed of five (5) attendance areas: Dacusville, Daniel, Easley, Liberty, and Pickens. A limited school choice program is an option in the district; however, certain requirements, including a request and approval process, exist.
