Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

Oceanside Collegiate Academy is a high-performing public charter school serving grades 9-12 in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, with a student population of 651. This school consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming the state and district averages on end-of-course exams.

Oceanside Collegiate Academy's academic excellence is evident across various metrics. It ranked 6th out of 237 schools in the 2022-2023 school year and 5th out of 235 schools in the 2023-2024 school year, reflecting its consistent high performance. The school's student population is predominantly white (84.64%), which is significantly higher than the surrounding Charleston 01 and Berkeley 01 districts. Oceanside Collegiate Academy's students excel in all subject areas, with their test scores significantly outpacing the state and district averages.

Interestingly, Oceanside Collegiate Academy's success extends across different student subgroups, including female, male, and white students, as well as low-socioeconomic status (SES) students. This indicates the school's commitment to equity and inclusive excellence. In contrast, nearby public schools like Burke High, Military Magnet Academy, and North Charleston High generally have lower test scores, lower rankings, and more diverse student populations. The school's low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 3.23% also suggests that factors such as socioeconomic status and parental involvement may contribute to its exceptional academic outcomes.
