I absolutely love Scranton Elementary School. This is my daughter's first year there. Her teachers are very understanding and super nice to her. I glad we made the move!

I have five children and four of them have attended Scranton School. I feel that it is a great school. Two of my children are in tag.

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.
