School Report Cards

Area School District Report Card Ratings

The following link offers information to the state Department of Education’s Report Card rating system established with the South Carolina Education Accountability Act of 1998.
For more information and individual school Report Card ratings, go to http://ed.sc.gov/topics/researchandstats/schoolreportcard/
South Carolina’s performance goal is for student achievement to rank in the top half of states in the U.S. by 2010. To achieve this goal our state must become one of the five fastest-improving systems in the country.

Every public school and school district receives an annual Report Card rating of performance. The report cards provide educators, parents, students and the general public with an assortment of information, including student performance on state standardized tests, student programs and services, attendance and funding. A district or school’s performance is measured on a five-point scale from Unsatisfactory to Excellent.
