Summary

Oceanside Collegiate Academy is a public charter high school in Mount Pleasant, SC, serving 623 students in grades 9-12 under the Limestone Charters Association, and it has earned a 5-star rating, ranking 19th out of 245 high schools statewide (92nd percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out for its exceptional English and history outcomes. Its English 2 proficiency rate of 97.7% is the highest among nearby schools, edging out Wando High (97.32%) and Lucy Garrett Beckham High (95.82%), and it sits 13.9 points above the state average. U.S. History proficiency is also strong at 79.04%, well ahead of the state average of 62.57%. What makes these results particularly notable is the school's efficiency: it operates with a student-teacher ratio of 23.9:1, the highest in the comparison group, yet still nearly matches the performance of Wando High, which serves more than four times as many students with a much lower ratio. This suggests a lean, effective instructional model that delivers elite results without the per-student spending seen at lower-performing schools like Burke High ($39,636 per student) or Military Magnet Academy ($41,580).

Oceanside also shows consistent strength across student subgroups, with female students ranking 16th and male students 19th statewide, and low socioeconomic status students ranking 28th (88th percentile). One interesting outlier is its Gifted and Talented students, who rank only 106th (32nd percentile), which may indicate the general education program is so strong it narrows the gap for all learners. The school is located just over a mile from Wando High, and both achieve elite status through different models—Wando with a larger, more resource-rich approach and Oceanside with a leaner, more efficient one. This is a rising star with limited historical data, but its immediate 5-star rating and top-tier performance make it a compelling option for families seeking a high-achieving, cost-effective public charter education in the Mount Pleasant area.
