The SAT
The SAT is a standardized test often used in the college admissions process. Its' aim is to assess the student's readiness for college. The current test consists of two 800 point sections testing Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (ERW) and Mathematics. The highest composite score on the SAT is 1600. Most students take the test, which is offered several times per year, during their junior or senior year of high school. The district and state averages are included for comparison. State averages for SAT data are based on regular public schools and do not include private schools in the state.

The highest composite score on the SAT is 1600. For each of the two sections of the test, the highest score is 800.
Note: The new SAT data (as of 2017) cannot be compared to that of previous years because the redesigned SAT is a different assessment using a different scale.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is designed to measure what students across the nation know and can do in 10 subjects areas, including mathematics, reading,
science, writing, the arts, civics, economics, geography and U.S. History. The main NAEP tests selected samples of the students population in grades 4, 8 and 12. Long-term trend assessments are given to
samples of students ages 9, 13 and 17.

State Goals
Federal law requires that each state report card include long-term goals and measurements
of interim progress for all students and defined subgroups of students. 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

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.
