District reports spring assessment gains; presenters stress targeted interventions before SC Ready tests

Mar 20, 2026

Instructional staff presented spring I-Ready data showing growth across K–6 (reading on‑grade-level share rose to roughly 50% from ~20% in fall) and grade-level proficiency improvements; trustees were told the district will use interventions, tutoring and Saturday programs ahead of SC Ready/EOC testing.

The full story

Instructional presenter summarized spring assessment and I-Ready results and framed them as evidence of measurable student growth: "In the fall, we only had 20 percent of students that was on grade level... and then now in the spring, we have 50 percent of students that are on grade level," the presenter reported, describing improvement across grade bands. The presentation included grade-by-grade proficiency gains (for example, third-grade reading proficiency rising from ~21% in fall to 46% in spring) and annual-growth metrics that staff said indicate many students met or exceeded a year's expected growth.
