Educational performance of military-connected children

The Education Oversight Committee, working with the State Board of Education established a comprehensive annual report concerning the performance of military-connected children who attend primary, elementary, middle, and high schools in this State. The annual comprehensive report addresses attendance, academic performance in reading, math, and science, and graduation rates of military connected children. This report does not address military-connected students educated in Department of Defense schools, private schools and home school settings.

Results of the 2015 Parent Survey

Since 2002 the SCDE has administered the parent survey to a sample of parents whose children attended public schools in South Carolina. From its inception, the parent survey contains items regarding parent perceptions of the learning environment in the school, home and school relations, and the social and physical environment of the school. Additional questions document characteristics of the parents and the children of the parents responding to the survey. The parents of students in the highest grade at all elementary, middle and high schools are surveyed. Annually, the EOC has analyzed the results of the parent survey and issued reports.
