Summary

Lone Oak Elementary is a K-5 public school in Spartanburg, SC, serving 336 students within the Spartanburg 06 school district.

Lone Oak is showing real signs of progress. After years of ranking in the bottom quarter of South Carolina elementary schools, the school jumped from the 22nd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 37th percentile in 2025-2026—its best performance in a decade. This improvement is especially strong in English Language Arts, where 4th-grade proficiency rose from 35% to 66% in just two years. The school is also doing exceptional work with Hispanic and English Language Learner students, ranking in the 60th percentile or higher for both groups—far better than its overall ranking. Additionally, students from low-income backgrounds have seen a remarkable 22-point jump in their ranking over the past year, suggesting the school's recent gains are genuine and broad-based.

However, significant challenges remain. Chronic absenteeism is a crisis: 32.3% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, the highest rate among nearby schools and well above the state average of 22.3%. This rate has been climbing steadily. Math proficiency, while improving, still lags state averages—5th-grade math sits at 44% versus 49% statewide. The school also spends more per student ($15,489) than higher-performing neighbors like Shoally Creek Elementary ($11,644) and Boiling Springs Elementary ($12,046), yet those schools consistently outperform Lone Oak. Perhaps most puzzling is the school's performance with Gifted and Talented students, which ranks in the 4th percentile—a stark contrast to its success with other subgroups. For parents, this is a school on an upward trajectory, but one where attendance and math support will be critical to sustaining momentum.
