And which do you consider the best? Not only in terms of rankings, but teachers, actual experiences, safety, amount of fights, state of the actual building, etc. This will hopefully narrow my search down even more. If I should consider more, please let me know. I haven't heard much about the good districts in Spartanburg county but I'm interested in that as well
Any more districts to consider? When I visit in a few months, I want to focus on areas that feed into good schools so I can avoid wasting time on not so highly rated schools. I only have a few days to scout around

Greenville County has a countywide school district, Greenville County Schools. School assignments are determined by what attendance area you reside in. There are likelihoods the school you may reside closest to is not the school your children will attend.
Anderson and Spartanburg counties have multiple school districts. Each school district have schools that feed into one another.
Based on the list of schools you have provided, are you seeking to relocate to the Greenville area or the Anderson area?
I think I'd like to be outside of Greenville county but I want to be able to get to downtown Greenville in less than 20 minutes. The counties outside of Greenville have lower taxes from what I see but there are good schools too

I think living outside Greenville County but within 20 minutes of downtown Greenville might be a tough ask when you consider traffic. I think your best option would be the parts of Greer that are in Spartanburg County or possibly the areas of Powdersville that are in Anderson County.

all of those are fine except I wouldn't choose Blue Ridge unless things have drastically changed for the better in the past 20 years. It was considered a backwater school back in my HS days.
Everything being equal, I'd rank them
1. Riverside
2. Wade Hampton
3. Mauldin
4. TL Hanna
5. Powdersville
6. Wren
7. Blue Ridge
You can look up the comparisons on the Greenville County School District Website. Look for "school report cards".

Pretty much all of the schools you have listed are good. Some of them might be outside of a 20 minute drive to downtown, though.
Hanna and Blue Ridge High Schools will be more like 30 minutes to downtown. Wren is right at 20 minutes, so whether or not you could get to downtown in 20 minutes would depend on where you lived in the attendance zone.
Several of these like Wren and Blue Ridge aren't really in defined towns - just areas that are somewhat more rural.
For some of the others, they may include parts of specific towns, but not everyone with that town's postal address. For example, much of the Riverside attendance zone has a Greer address but some people with a Greer address also attend Greer, Blue Ridge, or other schools.
I'd recommend visiting the area to see how what you think of the areas around these different schools and then narrowing your choices from there. That's what we did - I looked first at commute to work, then picked out school districts with better schools, and then looked at the 2-3 areas that might have worked.
We ended up in Powdersville for a number of reasons, some of which might not pertain to your situation. We've been happy with our choice.
