Summary

Oakwood-Windsor Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Aiken, SC, serving 427 students within the Aiken 01 school district, and it has just posted its strongest academic results in years.

The most exciting news for parents is the school’s dramatic one-year turnaround. After four straight years of 2-star ratings, Oakwood-Windsor jumped to a 3-star rating and the 57th percentile statewide for 2025-2026—a leap from the 32nd percentile the year before. This improvement is especially notable for students who often face the biggest challenges. The school now ranks in the 73rd percentile for serving students from low-income families, a massive jump from the 43rd percentile, and it also earned 3 stars for its work with Hispanic students, up from the 26th percentile. Math scores are a clear highlight, with 3rd and 4th graders outperforming both district and state averages by wide margins. Science remains a weaker spot, with only 40.6% of 4th graders proficient, below the district average. There is also a noticeable gap between girls (61st percentile) and boys (47th percentile) that families may want to ask about.

Compared to nearby schools, Oakwood-Windsor’s rise stands out. J.D. Lever Elementary, a similar-sized school in the same district, has stayed stuck in the low 20s percentile, while Oakwood-Windsor has surged ahead. That said, chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 31.7%—well above the district (25.1%) and state (22.3%) averages, and higher than top performers like Millbrook Elementary (20.8%) and East Aiken School of the Arts (19.3%). Given that the school is achieving strong gains despite many students missing significant school time, addressing attendance could unlock even greater success. For parents, this is a school on the rise, with proven strengths in math and in supporting its highest-need students.
