SUMTER COUNTY, S.C. (WIS) - Sumter County students' test scores are largely improving, but are well behind their South Carolina counterparts. On Monday, the Sumter County School Board reviewed scores from the 2023 SC Ready test, End of Course (EOC) tests, and Career Readiness tests. The SC Ready results showed improvement in the percentage of students meeting or exceeding expectations in English, science, and math, but were still lagging behind the state average. Scores in Algebra 1 and Biology 1 dropped, as did career readiness.
