A Message from Dr. Reavis

Each year, School and District Report Cards are posted on the South Carolina Department of Education’s (SCDE's) website. Not to be confused with student report cards, these Report Cards provide information about each school and district, including test performance, teacher qualifications, student safety, awards, parent involvement and much more. Once again, Oakview's overall rating for the 2023-2024 school year was EXCELLENT! Our school community is incredibly proud of the hard work our students do each and every day. Way to go Owls! See the SC School Report Card Report.

  • 84.8% of Oakview students scored "Meet" or "Exceeds" on SC Ready ELA.
    83.8% of students achieved the same on SC Ready Math.

 

For the children,
Dr. Phillip Reavis

See Something. Say Something.

School Choice

Change in Assignment School Choice Lottery Window Open Nov 21 - Dec 6

Greenville County Schools’ Change in Assignment (CIA) School Choice Lottery Window will be available from November 21 through December 6, 2024 where parents can submit a choice request form for up to three schools for their child. Choice request forms are available at every school (except magnet schools) and must be completed and submitted at the first choice school. This form is not available online. Order of receipt of CIA form at schools during the CIA Lottery Window does not affect selection.

All parents/guardians interested in applying for a possible CIA school choice slot at a school other than their assigned school based on their resident address should apply during the Change in Assignment Choice Lottery Window. Parents of 2025-26 kindergarten students should apply during the CIA Lottery Window (do not wait until kindergarten registration). This includes parents who already have a sibling at the school.

A lottery will be conducted and results will be posted no later than February 12, 2025 on the GCS website, reflecting the numerical order of applicants. Results provide the order of applicants by grade for each school only and do not reflect assignment or approval. This list is static and does not reflect waitlist number(s) after initial choice allocations. Parents can access lottery numerical order results by using their CIA choice form number and it is suggested parents take a picture of the form to avoid misplacement of the CIA number. Later, available space by grade level will determine the choice assignments for each school. 

Change in Assignment Choice notification letters will be mailed to parents/guardians by March 31, 2025, advising if the student received a slot at a requested school or if placed on a waitlist. Waitlist numbers will be provided.

This process does not include GCS’s magnet schools. Please directly contact the magnet school of interest.

You can learn more about the School Choice process on the district website.
