Summary

Bethel Elementary is a public elementary school located in Clover, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 356 students. The school is part of the York 02 school district, which is ranked 4 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bethel Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 15% of South Carolina elementary schools over the past several years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 78 out of 640 elementary schools in the state, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with its 3rd-grade students achieving 86.9% proficiency in ELA and 85.3% proficiency in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 61.8% and 56.3%, respectively.

While Bethel Elementary has shown strong performance across different student subgroups, the school's Gifted and Talented program appears to be an area of concern, as it ranked 90 out of 105 South Carolina elementary schools in this category in 2022-2023, earning a 1-star rating. Additionally, the school has experienced a gradual increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.9% in 2022-2023 to 22.5% in 2023-2024, which is an area the school may want to focus on to improve student attendance.

Wednesday, February 6, 2013

This is the type of school every parent hopes to find for their child where not only are the academics outstanding but this is a school where the teachers actually take the time to really know the kids. I researched schools a lot when we first moved to the Charlotte area before finding Bethel and could not be happier with the results. Close Quote
