Charleston School Rankings Released

 

(information below compiled for CCSD & Chris Winston, Editor of the online Patch.com) 

The Charleston County School District saw its federal accountability grade fall 6 points in 2013.

The district scored 83.2 on the 100-point scale, for a B grade, in 2013. In 2012, the Charleston County School District scored 89.2, also a B.

The grade, posted for each school and district statewide and released by the S.C. Department of Education on Thursday morning, is part of the federal No Child Left Behind legislation.

State Education Superintendent Mick Zais was granted a waiver to change from the federal Annual Yearly Progress scorecard (Met/Not Met) to a new scoring system that he believed provided more depth to districts and parents.

According to SCDE spokesman Jay Ragley, every district, school (charter, magnet or traditional) and subgroup (race, gender, etc.) was given the same targets for 2013 in reading/language arts and math. And those goals represented an improvement, or increase, over 2012.
