Improving school performance begins with understanding each school's conditions, successes, and challenges. South Carolina is required by federal and state law to create annual report cards for the public with critical data about how students and schools are doing. The South Carolina School Report Cards provide information to build that understanding. The South Carolina Department of Education released its 2022-2023.
The South Carolina Report Card measures the progress of schools toward the goals of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. These goals include Academic Success, Preparing for Success, Multi-Lingual Learner Growth, School Climate, Graduation Rate, and producing College and/or career-ready graduates.
The School Report Cards, which are based on South Carolina’s education accountability system, are required for all elementary, middle, and high schools that receive overall ratings based on a 100-point scale. The report card assigns Excellent, Good, Average, Below Average, and Unsatisfactory ratings.
Each school will receive an overall rating, and each rated indicator will receive a separate rating for each indicator.
| SCHOOL | RATING | SCORE |
| Crescent High School | GOOD | 65 |
| Starr-Iva Middle School | GOOD | 52 |
| Flat Rock Elementary | GOOD | 60 |
| Iva Elementary | AVERAGE | 48 |
| Starr Elementary | EXCELLENT | 79 |
No Anderson 3 schools were rated Below Average or Unsatisfactory.
