This section reports the long-term goals and performance of all students statewide. The goals below are from our state's 2019 ESSA plan approved by the United States Department of Education. Information on subgroup performance may be found in the "Download Data" section on the main page.

ESSA regulations require states to post on their report cards information about teachers with emergency or provisional credentials. South Carolina does not award emergency or provisional credentials, thus that metric is not listed.

Note: The method for calculating prime instructional time was adjusted for 2025 school report cards. Comparing 2025 prime instructional time to prior years is not appropriate.
