Summary:

The York 03 school district in Rock Hill, South Carolina, is home to 15 elementary schools serving grades K-5 (with several offering Pre-K), and the district overall ranks in the 60th percentile statewide with a 3-star rating.

For parents, the standout school in this area is clearly Cherry Park Elementary School of Language Immersion, which ranks in the 85th percentile statewide (4 stars) and boasts ELA proficiency rates above 80% in every grade, plus the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district at just 6.9%. Mount Gallant Elementary is another strong choice, ranking in the 83rd percentile with consistent 4-star ratings and the highest 5th-grade math proficiency in the district at 66.6%. On the other end of the spectrum, Richmond Drive Elementary is the district's most challenged school, ranking in the 5th percentile statewide with proficiency rates below 40% in all subjects and a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.4%. York Road Elementary also struggles, ranking in the 21st percentile with science proficiency well below district and state averages.

One of the most striking findings is that spending does not correlate with performance. Cherry Park spends the least per student ($12,583) and has the highest student-teacher ratio (17.3:1), yet outperforms every other school. Meanwhile, The Palmetto School spends nearly double ($24,274 per student) with the smallest class sizes (8.4:1) but has no recent ranking data and a 29.8% chronic absenteeism rate. Chronic absenteeism appears to be a strong predictor of performance—high-performing schools like Cherry Park and Mount Gallant have rates below 12%, while struggling schools exceed 20%. Additionally, math proficiency declines district-wide from 3rd to 5th grade, dropping from 55.2% to 40.4%, with only Mount Gallant maintaining consistent performance across all grades. Oakdale Elementary is the most improved school, jumping 71 spots in one year to a 4-star rating, while India Hook Elementary dropped 61 spots, showing significant year-over-year volatility across the district.
