Summary

Oakridge Middle in Clover, SC, is a large, high-performing school serving 1,146 students in grades 6 through 8, and it's part of the highly-rated York 02 school district, which ranks in the top 3% of districts statewide.

Oakridge consistently ranks in the top 10% of middle schools in South Carolina, with a remarkable streak of 5-star ratings. The school's academic performance is strong across the board, but it truly shines in advanced math: its Algebra 1 end-of-course exam pass rate is an exceptional 98.36%, outpacing both the district and state averages by wide margins. Students here also show up—the chronic absenteeism rate is just 10.1%, less than half the state average of 22.3%, which points to a positive and engaging school culture. What's particularly impressive is how well the school serves all its students. African American, Hispanic, and Multi-racial students all rank in the 91st-94th percentile statewide, showing that Oakridge is a model for equitable education. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student than several neighboring middle schools while outperforming them academically.

When compared to its same-district peer, Clover Middle, the difference is stark. Oakridge outperforms Clover Middle in every subject and grade level tested, and its chronic absenteeism rate is less than half of Clover's 22.5%. Even when compared to the elite schools in the neighboring York 04 district, Oakridge holds its own, particularly in advanced math where its pass rate rivals the best in the state. One area to watch is the performance of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which has dipped slightly in the most recent year. Overall, Oakridge Middle is a standout choice for families seeking a rigorous, inclusive, and engaging middle school experience.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, May 22, 2024

Our family has been part of this district since our child began their education. Up until this year, we have experienced no issues. However, the current principal has proven to be unhelpful and unwilling to address any problems that may arise. Instead of offering support, he tends to make excuses or counterarguments before even allowing you to express your concerns fully. If your child is entering 8th grade, preparing yourself for what may feel like an incredibly challenging year for your family is important. Despite advocating for your child and other students at the school, no positive changes will occur. As the school year ends, feeling let down by the district and the lack of support for your child and their peers is disheartening. People are talking, and this school and principal will bring this district down fast if something is not done. Close Quote

There are fights every day. You walk in the halls and kids are cursing,spitting,fighting,kissing,and disrespectful to the AWESOME TEACHERS.
6th grade counselor does very little along with the principal for the students.
I feel like there are few kids in my class who try to learn. Close Quote
