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/data/report-card/
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.
