Summary

Larne Elementary in Clover, SC, serves approximately 574 students in grades PK-5 as part of the York 02 school district, which is ranked 2nd out of 75 districts statewide. The school currently holds a 4-star rating and ranks 122nd out of 649 elementary schools in South Carolina (81st percentile), showing steady improvement over the past seven years by climbing from 204th place in 2018-2019.

What truly sets Larne apart is its exceptional success with students from low-income backgrounds. With roughly 60% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 83rd percentile for low socioeconomic status students—a remarkable achievement that suggests the school is highly effective at closing achievement gaps. The school also maintains impressive gender parity, with both female and male students ranking at the 81st percentile. Academically, Larne exceeds state averages in both English Language Arts and math across all grade levels, though math proficiency does decline somewhat in upper grades (from 72.8% in 3rd grade to 67.7% in 5th grade). Science remains the school's relative weakness, falling 9 percentage points below the district average. Parents will also appreciate the favorable 10.6:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $16,913, which is the second-highest among district elementary schools.

Within the York 02 district, Larne sits in the middle tier—outperforming nearby Kinard Elementary (ranked 205th) and Bethany Elementary (157th), while trailing top performers like Oakridge Elementary (47th) and Crowders Creek Elementary (44th). One area of concern is chronic absenteeism at 15.2%, which is more than double the rate at Oakridge and Crowders Creek, though it has improved significantly from the pandemic-era high of 22.3%. For families seeking a school on an upward trajectory with strong support for economically disadvantaged students, Larne represents a solid choice.
