Plantersville Elementary outlines 45‑day plan to boost SC Ready scores
Summary
Plantersville Elementary (Digital Immersion) presented a continuous improvement plan targeting a 10‑percentage‑point increase in students scoring 'meets or exceeds' on SC Ready in ELA and math, citing current rates of 28% (ELA), 19% (math) and 23% (science).
Mr. Coins presented Plantersville Elementary's quarterly continuous improvement plan after the school was designated unsatisfactory and as a CSI school.
He said the school aims to raise the share of students scoring “meets or exceeds” on SC Ready by 10 percentage points in ELA and math. Core strategies include collaborative planning to align units to standards, literacy strategies across contents, targeted professional learning for teachers and individualized supports. Mr. Coins also described a district‑wide 45‑day short‑term action plan and said the school received additional state funds to target teacher and student supports.
On assessment results, Mr. Coins reported that Plantersville’s SC Ready 'meets or exceeds' rates were 28% in ELA, 19% in math and 23% in science. Board members asked for deeper data on specific deficiencies, teacher turnover and feeder patterns from early childhood programs; district staff said they would provide detailed data and noted initiatives such as the '212' early‑grades effort aimed at addressing gaps before grade three.
Board members praised the effort and requested a future presentation with more school‑level metrics and teacher‑turnover figures.
