The South Carolina State Department recently released scores on state tests: SC Ready (ELA and math and SCPASS (science and social studies) for grades three to eight.
Anderson School District One students performed well on the third year of the state assessment and the first year of online testing for all students.
“We were very pleased with our test scores for 2017,” said Jane Harrison, Assistant Superintendent for Anderson One. “We saw score increases in every grade three to eight in ELA and in every grade except eighth for math.”
District One students also did well with online testing.
“With the implementation of 1:1 technology in 2013, our students were comfortable testing on a device they use everyday,” Harrison said. “Our growth is a combined effort of instructional leadership provided by the administrators, teachers that are experts in their field, students that are hard-working and involved parents. Quality professional development has been a key in making instructional improvements. We are never satisfied unless we are growing academically.”
Anderson School District One Superintendent Robbie Binnicker stated, “I am very proud of our assessment results. Anderson One continues to provide an excellent learning environment through the hard work and dedication of our teachers, administrators, students, and parents.”
