Our School
Lake Carolina Elementary Upper Campus opened on August 20, 2014 as the 19th elementary school in Richland School District Two. Lake Carolina Elementary became "one school with two campuses" with the Upper Campus serving students in 3rd through 5th grades and Lower Campus serving students from child development through 2nd grade. The Upper Campus currently serves approximately 550 students.
We are proud to take part in our district wide AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) Initiative. The AVID Program allows our students to develop academic habits that they will continue to foster and grow throughout middle school, high school, college, or any chosen pathway to success. Our teachers implement and practice techniques that foster curiosity and higher order thinking skills for our students to be organized, communicate effectively, and take responsibility for their own learning.
Lake Carolina Elementary is a proud recipient of a variety of awards. Our awards reflect the culture of excellence that we strive towards every day. Our special family of students, teachers, and the community allows us to continue to sail beyond excellence!
