The South Carolina Education Oversight Committee (EOC) and South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) recently released the 2024 SC School Report Cards at Pinecrest Elementary School in Greenwood School District 50.
The report cards, available at www.screportcards.com, provide insights into student performance and school quality for the 2023-2024 school year.
All South Carolina public schools receive overall report card ratings based on a 100-point scale. Schools also receive ratings on various indicators such as academic achievement, college and career-readiness, and graduation rate.
Overall ratings for the 2023-24 school report cards are as follows:
- 232 schools received an overall rating of Excellent
- 316 schools received ratings of Good
- 477 schools received Average
- 187 schools received Below Average
- 49 schools received Unsatisfactory
While 44% of South Carolina public schools received an overall rating of Excellent or Good, data from this year’s report card also indicates areas of needed improvement.
EOC chair April Allen pointed to the disconnect between the on-time high school graduation rate and the rate at which those same students are college-or career-ready.
“This year’s report card data shows a disparity between the percentage of high school students who graduate on time and the rate at which those same students are college and career ready. We want to ensure that our students are adequately prepared for life after graduation.”
