Education Department revises South Carolina report cards
State education officials revise grades for 13 districts and many schools after appeals over flawed data. Eleven schools improved while Beaufort Middle and Harleyville Ridgeville Elementary fell. The revisions also left some schools with the lowest grade, risking state takeover if gains aren’t shown. Inez Tenenbaum emphasizes the reporting tool measures district and school performance using state tests and graduation benchmarks. Marlboro High School boosts district rating with a move from below average to average.
