The 2009 State Report Cards were released today with a number of schools showing improved scores over 2008.However, according to a story in the Post and Courier newspaper "the improvement primarily stems from changes to the state's accountability test and scoring system, and it will take another year before test scores can be compared exactly from one year to the next. State education leaders cautioned against making year-to-year comparisons, and they said elementary and middle schools didn't have as high a bar to cross this year to receive better ratings."
Here is a link to the Charleston County Scores.
Here is a link to the Dorchester 2 Scores
Even though apparently the 2009 scores have been "watered down" to a degree, they should be helpful in comparing the relative performance of the different schools to each other. Even though the scores from Charleston County remain poor as a whole, the Mt. Pleasant scores are impressive, with every school obtaining an "excellent" grade with the exception of one, Laing Middle School which received a grade of "good":
High School
Wando - Excellent
Middle Schools
Laing - good
Moultrie - excellent
Cairo - excellent
Elementary Schools
Belle Hall- excellent
Charles Pinckney - excellent
James B. Edwards - excellent
Jennie Moore - excellent
Whitesides - excellent
Mt. Pleasant Academy - excellent
Primary Schools
Laural Hill - excellent
