2022 South Carolina School Report Cards released

Today the SC Department of Education (SCDE) and the SC Education Oversight Committee (EOC) released the 2022 South Carolina school report cards.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)— Today the SC Department of Education (SCDE) and the SC Education Oversight Committee (EOC) released the 2022 South Carolina school report cards.

Officials say the reports show improvement despite disruptions in schooling during the pandemic. These are the first cards to contain ratings since 2019. In all, 20.6% of schools statewide received an overall rating of Excellent.

All elementary, middle, and high schools received ratings based on a 100-point scale. Schools received ratings based on these factors: graduation rate, academic achievement, and college and career-readiness.

SCDE and EOC officials stress there is more work ahead for students to reach college and career-readiness.

“I commend the effort of South Carolina educators and students,” says EOC Executive Director Matthew Ferguson. “These results beat all expectations of what was thought possible while living through the COVID disruptions.”
