Mt. Pleasant, SC – Oceanside Collegiate Academy once again received an excellent rating on its annual school report card from the state of South Carolina.
 
The SC School Report Cards grade schools based on a wide range of academic and environmental standards to assign a grade each year. A rating of Excellent indicates the "school's performance substantially exceeds the criteria to ensure all students meet the Profile of the SC Graduate."
 
The South Carolina Education Oversight Committee (EOC) is charged with encouraging continuous improvement in SC public schools, approving academic content standards and assessments, and establishing the state's educational accountability system.
 
"OCA's outstanding report card results reaffirm that innovation in education is not only valid but essential," Oceanside principal Christina Brown said. "Our staff and families are deeply committed to our culture of excellence, and through their dedication and hard work, we continue to execute our unique mission at the highest level."
 
In addition to the overall rating of Excellent, OCA received an Excellent grade, earning 4.41 out of 5 points, for School Climate, which includes teacher perceptions of instructional focus, teacher perceptions of working conditions, teacher perceptions of safety, student perceptions of social-physical environment and student perceptions of safety.
 
OCA also received an Excellent rating, with 18.75 out of 19 points, for an on-time graduation rate of 99.4 percent.
 
The school received Excellent ratings for Academic Achievement, with 95.3 percent of students scoring a C or higher in English in their end of course assessment, and significantly outperformed other schools in the Charter Institute at Erskine district as well as state-wide scores in Algebra, Biology and US History EOCs.
 
Oceanside also received an Excellent rating for College & Career Readiness, earning 17.52 points out of 19, as well as High School Student Success, earning 11.07 points out of 12. OCA's five-year student success rate stands at 100 percent. During the 2023-24 school year, Oceanside did not have a single report of a serious crime, or incidents of bullying or harassment, on campus, which is a testament to the school's mission of having a safe school.
 
The report card also revealed that 94.6 percent of parents who completed the survey are satisfied with the learning environment, indicating a strong partnership between OCA and its families and a healthy, positive school culture.
 
"OCA's results highlight the strength of forward-thinking education and the dedication of our entire community," Brown said. "While there may be differing perspectives, we hope our success serves as an example of how innovation can drive positive change. We believe in sharing our journey to inspire others and raise the standard for what's possible in education."
