District administrators presented the 2024-25 state and federal report-card results, explained the indicators used at elementary, middle and high school levels, and outlined next steps focused on instruction, professional learning communities (PLCs), MTSS, remediation and supports for multilingual learners and students with disabilities. Superintendent Jay Harrison Goodwin and other staff emphasized that the report card is one measurement among many and praised broad, district-wide effort. "We are very, very proud of the work," Goodwin said.

Administrators reviewed scoring components: academic achievement (SC Ready ELA/math), student progress (individual growth targets), preparing for success (grade-level science EOCs), ML progress for districts with multilingual learner subgroups, and school climate (surveys). Staff reported that no school dropped a level this year, four of nine elementary schools increased at least one level, two schools moved from average to excellent, and some schools missed higher levels by narrow margins (one school was 0.03 from moving up).

High-school indicators and college/career readiness measures were also discussed. Administrators described credit thresholds and on-track measures for high-school success and listed multiple college-and-career readiness pathways (ACT/SAT benchmarks, AP scores, dual enrollment, CTE completion, ASVAB, state-approved work-based exit evaluations). Staff credited career development facilitators and partners for CCR gains and said grad rates are holding steady or improving.

The presentation concluded with specific next steps: continued focus on tier 1 instruction and HQIM (high-quality instructional materials), learning walks, PLC strengthening, MTSS and progress-monitoring protocols, immediate remediation through power hours/wind time at high schools, multilingual newcomer classes, and analysis of credit recovery impact. Board members and administrators lauded staff and community partners for the results and expressed plans to continue the instructional priorities.
