Summary:
Clover, South Carolina is served by a single, large public high school, Clover High, which educates students in grades 9 through 12 and is part of the highly-rated York 02 school district.
For parents, Clover High stands out as a strong academic performer. The school is ranked 29th out of 245 high schools in South Carolina, placing it in the 88th percentile with a 4-star rating, and its ranking has improved steadily over the past three years. Academically, it significantly outperforms state averages, particularly in English, where proficiency rates are 20 or more percentage points higher than the rest of South Carolina. For example, English 2 proficiency is 93.17% compared to the state's 83.79%, and English 1 is 81.24% versus 60.91% statewide. The school also excels at keeping students on track, with a graduation rate of 93.8% (state: 86.7%) and a dropout rate of just 0.8% (state: 2.1%). While Algebra 1 proficiency (78.96%) is its weakest subject, it still edges out the state average of 73.95%.
The most notable area of concern is chronic absenteeism. At 19.9%, the rate is better than the state average of 22.3% but is significantly higher than the district's rate of 14.4%. This discrepancy is curious given the school's high test scores and graduation rate, suggesting that the students who are absent may be a specific subset, or that the school provides strong support for those who attend regularly. With per-student spending of $14,524 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.1:1, the school is well-resourced. Overall, Clover High offers a high-quality education with excellent outcomes, though parents may want to encourage consistent attendance to ensure their child fully benefits from what the school has to offer.
