A message from Dr. Merck Regarding the 2022 SDPC Report Cards:
SC School Report Cards provide tremendous feedback to us in several different areas. We have always maintained a long-run approach instead of reacting to one quarter, one semester, or one year of data. However, we acknowledge so many areas of positive academic performance across the school district. Along with areas of positive gains, we accept the challenge of improving as well. We remain extremely grateful for the tremendous work in each of our schools. We are committed to a teachable attitude and continuous improvement no matter what.
Overall, the ratings demonstrate so much to celebrate! Here is a summary of the 22 SDPC schools measured:- Schools with Excellent Rating: 4
- Schools with Good Rating: 10
- Schools with Average Rating: 8
As a district, our growth will depend on creating a safe and orderly environment to have optimal conditions for teaching and learning. Both areas, academic services and administrative services are working together to accomplish our vision and mission in building our graduates from 3K to 12th grade.
