Summary

Oakdale Elementary is a public elementary school located in Rock Hill, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 482 students. The school is part of the York 03 School District, which is ranked 29 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakdale Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 460th out of 639 South Carolina elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 264th out of 640 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on the SC READY assessments is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA). However, the school's performance in mathematics is more mixed, with 3rd and 4th grade proficiency rates above the district and state, but 5th grade proficiency rates below. Oakdale Elementary's performance on the SCPASS science assessment for 4th grade is also above the district and state averages.

While Oakdale Elementary has shown strong performance for its African American and low socioeconomic status (SES) student populations, the school's performance for its white student population and students with disabilities has been below average compared to the state. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20% to 24.7% in recent years, which is higher than the district and state averages. Despite these challenges, Oakdale Elementary is well-resourced, with higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district and state averages.
