For the first time since the state began issuing school and district report cards in 2001, Richland One has no schools rated Unsatisfactory. The South Carolina Department of Education and the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee released the 2024-2025 statewide report card data November 3. The report cards measure schools across key performance indicators, including academic achievement, student progress, college and career readiness, and school climate. Schools are rated Excellent, Good, Average, Below Average or Unsatisfactory.
The State Department of Education publicly released the state report card ratings, of which the graduation rate and College or Career Readiness is a part. Richland Two graduation rate holds steady ties with the State rate. Three out of five Richland Two high schools increased the percent of students graduating with a S.C. diploma. Richland Two increased the percent of students who obtained College or Career Readiness (CCR) status for the second year in a row. Two elementary, two middle schools, and one high school exited the Underperforming Schools list. One new school was added to the Underperforming Schools list.
Sixteen teachers at Seven Oaks Elementary Global Magnet in Lexington-Richland School District Five were recognized on October 27 for their hard work in the classroom. These teachers were awarded performance-based bonuses as part of the South Carolina Department of Education’s Strategic Compensation Pilot Program—John Byrd, Jennifer Chandler, Jennifer Clyburn, Jasmine Cohen, Kathryn Griffin, Rehana Hakimji, Brooke Hill, Brittany Owens, Kasey Porter, Natasha Pyles, Nautica Roberts, Chelsey Riley, Nicole Ruff, Angela Sainz, Myralyn Small, and Heidi Williams.
This year, according to College Board, 40 students in Richland Two earned the prestigious AP Capstone Diploma™, and 16 students received the AP Seminar and Research Certificate™, demonstrating exceptional achievement in critical thinking, research, collaboration, and presentation skills.
