Summary

Oliver Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Riverdale, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 495. The school is part of the Clayton County School District, which is ranked 173 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Oliver Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 772 and 1029 over the past 10 school years, and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oliver Elementary School faces significant challenges, including low test scores, high poverty rates, and limited funding. On the 2024-2025 Milestones Assessments, only 32.4% of 3rd graders, 37.8% of 4th graders, and 31.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 34.9%, 39.3%, and 43%, respectively. The school also struggles in mathematics, with only 33.8% of 3rd graders, 43.2% of 4th graders, and 22.6% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to 44.3%, 49%, and 42.6% at the state level. Additionally, Oliver Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.35% to 95.76% over the past few school years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The challenges faced by Oliver Elementary are not unique, as the nearby schools in the Clayton County School District, such as Lake Ridge Elementary, Riverdale Elementary, and Church Street Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments and have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, the nearby schools in the Fulton County School District, such as Heritage Elementary, Nolan Elementary, and Bethune Elementary, generally perform better on state assessments and have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the funding differences between the two districts may be a contributing factor to the performance gap.
