Summary

Oak Hill Charter School is a public charter school serving 207 students in grades K-8 in Lenoir, North Carolina. The school is ranked 1188 out of 1490 North Carolina elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges.

Oak Hill Charter School's student performance is significantly lower than state averages in both mathematics and reading across all grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 80% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 64.1%, but its 8th-grade mathematics proficiency rate was only 13.6%, compared to the state average of 48.7%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, with its ranking for White students and Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students in the bottom 10% of North Carolina elementary schools. Additionally, Oak Hill Charter School has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.3 in 2023-2024, compared to the nearby Caldwell County Schools, which have ratios ranging from 11.8 to 15.2.

The performance of Oak Hill Charter School is in stark contrast to the nearby Granite Falls Elementary, which ranked 433 out of 1490 North Carolina elementary schools in 2024-2025 and had significantly higher proficiency rates in mathematics and reading. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Oak Hill Charter School (over 90%) suggests that the school serves a population with significant socio-economic challenges, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. These factors indicate the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of strategies to improve educational outcomes for the students at Oak Hill Charter School.
