The York 01 school district in South Carolina is home to 5 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade.

Hunter Street Elementary and Jefferson Elementary consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
