Williamston, S.C. - Anderson School District One is among the top-performing districts on the 2025-2026 statewide assessments, reflecting the district’s continued commitment to academic excellence and ensuring all students have the opportunity to learn at high levels.
The South Carolina Department of Education released the statewide assessment results on August 10th, including SC READY and End-of-Course Examination (EOCEP) scores.
“Despite being one of the lowest funded school districts in South Carolina, our students continue to perform well on state assessments due to the hard work and determination of the best group of teachers in our state,” said Superintendent Dr. Seth Young. “Our staff works tirelessly to provide all of our students the opportunity to learn at high levels. Once again, these test scores reflect the Tradition of Excellence Anderson School District One is known for.”
End-of-Course Examination (EOCEP)
Anderson School District One demonstrated consistent growth across the four End-of-Course subject areas. High school students are required to take the End-of-Course exam when they are enrolled in Algebra 1, Biology, English 2, or United States History and the Constitution.
The EOCEP is administered at the end of each course. Proficiency is defined as earning a passing grade of A, B, or C demonstrating that a student meets or exceeds state standards for college and career readiness.
Anderson One is the only traditional public school system ranked in the top 4 in all four EOC subjects.
Anderson One earned the top ranking in Algebra 1.
