Greenville, SC – The latest test scores from Greenville County Schools (GCS) reveal that students have outperformed the state average in several areas during the 2023-24 school year. This data, released by the South Carolina Department of Education, highlights achievements in both elementary and middle school assessments.
According to the assessment results, GCS students excelled in the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Assessments (SC READY) for English language arts and math. The performance stood out particularly in middle and high schools, where the students surpassed state scores in all categories tested on the End-of-Course Examination Program. These examinations covered key subjects like Algebra 1, English 2, Biology, and U.S. History.
GCS also showed strong results for 11th and 12th graders taking the South Carolina Career Ready Assessment, which is designed to evaluate essential job skills. About 76% of students assessed in the spring of 2024 received a credential, which is higher than the state average of 72.2%.
Dr. Burke Royster, the Superintendent of GCS, commented on this year’s academic success, saying, “These accomplishments highlight the focus and hard work from our students, teachers, and district officials. Their combined efforts allow students to excel both academically and prepare for their future with necessary skills and credentials.”
As adjustments and developments continue in the educational system, GCS remains focused on improving both academic performance and preparing students for future opportunities. For detailed information regarding test scores, residents are encouraged to visit the official GCS website.
