I love this school. Excellent teachers and staff. Couldn't ask for a better place for my children to attend. My daughter made the honor roll because of the committment from the teachers that she had in 5th grade. While she has always been a great student, I strongly feel that without the support of the teachers she would have not been as focused.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 South Carolina used the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in writing, English/Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science. The PASS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of South Carolina. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
