==Issues==
===2014 state report cards===
A new round of state report cards released on November 14, 2014, show an improving graduation rate, with more than 80 percent of [[South Carolina]] students able to call themselves graduates. The data also rated 49 out of 82 school districts as either "good" or "excellent," which is a significant improvement from 2009 when only one South Carolina school district achieved an "excellent" rating. In [[Florence County, South Carolina|Florence County]], Florence Public School District One proved to be one of the county's highest performing districts, receiving an "excellent" rating for the third consecutive year. Three out of the six other districts in Florence County received either an "average" or "below average" rating. According to Dana Yow, a spokeswoman for the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee, South Carolina school districts "have done a really good job of focusing on that end result." The data used to compile the report cards is taken from student achievement and other related factors; graduation rate makes up 40 percent of the overall score.<ref>[http://www.scnow.com/news/education/article_9cec1d6e-6c70-11e4-8fa2-83e3ef3bfae9.html ''SC Now,'' "On-time graduation rate increases again in SC," November 14, 2014]</ref>
