Elementary School Description
The district’s seven elementary schools serve students in Pre-K through fifth grade. The S.C. Curriculum Standards are the foundation of the instructional program. District Instructional Supervisors work with the faculty at each school to implement district curriculum guides in the four core content areas. The Pre-K program serves 300 four-year-old students. Pre-K students are screened for developmental readiness in the spring and summer to determine placement in the district’s 15 classes. K through 2nd grade students are served in heterogeneous self-contained classrooms. Third, fourth, and fifth grade teachers provide specialized core content instruction in a self-contained or departmental setting. Instructional support programs at the elementary level include Reading Recovery, gifted and talented instruction, MTSS, and special education services. Students also receive weekly instruction in art, music, physical education, and technology. Each school is staffed with highly qualified teachers, an administrative team, a full-time nurse, a school counselor, and grade-level teaching assistants. Additionally, each school has access to the services of a social worker and a psychologist.

Middle School Description
Clover School District’s two middle schools serve students in sixth through eighth grades in a modified middle school program model. The South Carolina Curriculum Standards are the foundation for all core content instructional courses. District instructional supervisors work with the faculty at each middle school to implement district curriculum guides in the four core content areas. Students have opportunities to take elective courses in band, chorus, physical education, health, Project Lead the Way, world languages, dance, art, theatre, and agriculture. Instructional support programs at the middle level include SOAR (reading and math), MTSS, on-campus tutoring, and special education services. Students in need of these additional academic services are identified through a School Intervention Team (SIT) process. Students also have the opportunity to take three courses for high school credit beginning in the eighth grade, including Algebra 1, English 1, French 1, or Spanish 1. Students qualify for these courses through a rubric score which looks at State Assessment performance in English and math, formative assessment performance (i-Ready) in English and math, and summative classroom performance (grades). Gifted and talented services are provided in a special class model for English and mathematics at each grade level.
