My daughter attended this school in grades k4-k5 and the teachers were absolutely wonderful. My daugter was reading fluently in the kindergarten and she excelled wonderfully. The staff there was absolutely wonderful, and friendly.

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.
