Jane Harrison, District One Assistant Superintendent for Instruction said, “The new SC Ready scores this year serve only as a new baseline for measuring academic progress. With this being the first year of the new College and Career Ready test, SCReady, it is not possible to make direct comparisons of this year’s results to previous years, but we are optimistic the changes we are making will drive improvements in teaching and learning. Our district scores were well above the state average in every content area and grade level. We are proud of the strides our students are making to be college and career ready.”
