Report to the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee

This report frames progress toward the 2010 goal with data on student performance and results of several studies examining SC's progress toward the 2010 goal. While SC schools, districts and state entities have maintained their commitment to high standards, we are experiencing the frustrations and disappointments of early implementation. The data presented in this report indicate that while we have made incremental improvements, incremental gains are insufficient to be "one of the five fastest improving states in the country.
