On September 5th, the SC Dept of Ed released the 22-23 school year results for the SC READY exams in English and math, and the SC PASS in science given in the elementary and middle school grade levels.
Effects from the global pandemic in 2020 resulted in declines in academic performance, however, the latest data shows that average overall results for state testing in CCSD are higher than pre-COVID achievement during the 2018-2019 school year.
This was a result of the dedication and hard work of our students, teachers, and staff members. Let's keep moving in the right direction!
