Summary

Oakridge Elementary in Clover, SC, is a PK-5 school within the York 02 district, serving 818 students and earning a 5-star rating every year for which data is available. The school consistently ranks in the top 50 elementary schools statewide (93rd-96th percentile over the past seven years), placing it among the very best in South Carolina.

Oakridge stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.6%—roughly one-third of the district average (14.4%) and less than one-third of the state average (22.3%). This strong attendance culture likely contributes to its impressive test scores, which exceed state averages by 15-30 percentage points in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school also demonstrates remarkable effectiveness with specific student groups, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide for African American students and the 97th percentile for disabled students. Notably, Oakridge achieves these results while spending significantly less per student ($13,429) than several nearby schools that rank lower, including Bethel Elementary ($19,415) and Larne Elementary ($16,913).

While Oakridge has historically outperformed its closest rival, Crowders Creek Elementary, located just 1.5 miles away, Crowders Creek surpassed Oakridge in the most recent rankings (44th vs. 47th statewide). Oakridge still maintains an edge in 3rd and 4th grade math. The school also compares favorably to the highly-regarded York 04 schools, outperforming Pleasant Knoll Elementary (60th) while serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Areas for attention include a widening gender gap and a recent decline in science scores, but Oakridge's consistent excellence, efficient resource use, and strong results across diverse student populations make it an outstanding choice for families.
