Summary

Mount Gallant Elementary is a K-5 public school in Rock Hill, SC, serving 469 students within the York 03 district, and it has consistently earned 4-star ratings while ranking in the top quartile of elementary schools statewide.

Academically, Mount Gallant stands out for its strong test scores across the board. In English Language Arts, proficiency rates range from 76-79% across grades, compared to district averages of 60-66%. Math scores are equally impressive, with 5th grade proficiency at 66.6% versus the district's 40.4%—a remarkable 26-point gap. The school also excels in science, with 67.4% of 4th graders proficient versus 49.6% district-wide. What's particularly noteworthy is how well the school serves all students: African American students ranked in the top 4% statewide in 2022-2023, and low-income students ranked in the top 4% in 2023-2024. This suggests the school has found effective ways to close achievement gaps. Chronic absenteeism is also notably low at 11.1% versus 18.1% district-wide, indicating strong family engagement and a positive school culture.

When compared to nearby schools, Mount Gallant holds its own. It outperforms Richmond Drive Elementary and York Road Elementary in most subjects while spending less per student ($14,644 vs. $15,283 and $15,904 respectively). Its closest competitor, Cherry Park Elementary (a language immersion magnet), ranks slightly higher overall, but Mount Gallant beats it in 5th grade math (66.6% vs. 54.5%) without the advantage of selective enrollment. While schools in the neighboring York 04 district like Orchard Park Elementary and Tega Cay Elementary post higher absolute scores, Mount Gallant's performance relative to its own district context is outstanding—especially given its moderate spending and smaller class sizes (13.9:1 student-teacher ratio). For parents seeking a school that delivers strong results for all children, Mount Gallant is a compelling choice.
