Summary

Oliver Elementary School in Riverdale, GA, serves 452 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Clayton County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has earned a 2-star rating for 2025-2026, ranking in the 32nd percentile statewide—a meaningful climb from the 15th percentile a decade ago.

Oliver stands out among its immediate neighbors for academic performance, particularly in mathematics. In the most recent testing cycle, Oliver's 4th grade math proficiency reached 46.1%, nearly 15 points above the district average and approaching the state average. This outperformance is striking when compared to nearby schools like Church Street Elementary (14-15% math proficiency) and West Clayton Elementary (13-22% math proficiency). The school also shows particular strength with its African American students, ranking in the 52nd percentile statewide for this group—well above the school's overall ranking. One of Oliver's most notable advantages is its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.1%, which nearly matches the state average and is roughly half the rate of several neighboring schools, including Church Street (33.4%), Riverdale Elementary (30.4%), and Martin Luther King- Junior Elementary School (30.5%).

Oliver invests more per student ($17,156) than nearby Clayton County schools and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1. The school's 5th grade science scores, while still trailing the state by about 16 points, have improved 45% over three years. Interestingly, Oliver's 32nd percentile ranking actually exceeds that of Bethune Elementary (27th percentile) in the higher-performing Fulton County district, suggesting Oliver's staff may be extracting more value from available resources. While gaps remain—particularly in 5th grade math and science—Oliver demonstrates that high-poverty schools can achieve meaningful, sustained progress through strong attendance practices and effective instruction.
