Here are all Richland schools rated best to worst in new SC state report. Take a look
Parents usually keep an eye on how their children perform in school, but what about the schools themselves?
South Carolina education officials recently unveiled 2022 school report cards, showing how the state’s education system performed over the previous school year. Compiled by the South Carolina Department of Education and the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee, these are the first report cards for the system released since 2019.
Every high school, elementary and middle school in the state received ratings on a 100-point scale. The ratings follow terms outlined in state law — excellent, good, average, below average and unsatisfactory. Schools also received ratings on multiple indicators, including graduation rate, academic achievement and college career readiness.
Statewide, 20.6% of schools received an overall rating of excellent, which was about the same as what was reported in 2019, according to a department of education press release.
