The school is part of the Charleston 01 School District, which is ranked 24th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Angel Oak Elementary has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 59.72% White, 18.13% African American, 18.39% Hispanic, 0.78% Asian, 0.13% Native American, and 2.85% two or more races. This diversity is higher compared to some of the nearby schools, such as James Island Elementary (63.4% White) and E.B. Ellington Elementary (13.88% White). The school has shown a steady improvement in its academic performance over the years, ranking 230 out of 638 South Carolina elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with White students performing better than African American and Hispanic students.

Angel Oak Elementary has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as St. Andrew's School of Math and Science (46.74%). While the school's recent academic progress and the district's overall strong performance suggest opportunities for continued improvement, the significant differences in performance between White students and minority students, as well as the high poverty levels, highlight the unique challenges faced by Angel Oak Elementary in providing a quality education for its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Public education at private school standards. My children transferred to Angel Oak Elementary in second and fifth grade and were immediately welcomed by the students and staff. The principal greets each student by name as they walk into the school each day and she knows about their interests and achievements. The teachers are phenomenal and I have noticed that students in all grade levels are instructed in both small group and class settings, allowing for specific needs and skill sets to be addressed. Because of their implementation of character education and development, the culture of the school is supportive. The focus is on celebrating successes. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
