2020-2021 | SOUTH CAROLINA | 150, 151 | 695, 696 | Performance | SEA to SCH Comparison: The SEA 4-Year Total Cohort Count is 47 students different from the aggregated SCH Total Cohort Count, when aggregated to the FCS subgroup. This is a difference of 7.77%. | The SEA-level count contains group home students, which are not included in the school-level count. |
2020-2021 | SOUTH CAROLINA | 150, 151 | 695, 696 | Performance | Prior Year Count Comparison (LEA): Submitted data indicated that the ALL STUDENTS cohort count (grand total) changed by more than 10% and 50 students or more from SY 2019-20 to SY 2020-21 for 5 LEAs that have a cohort count of 250 students or more. While this may be correct, this is a larger change than we would typically expect to see. | There are varying reasons why each district could see changes in rates: - Rapid enrollment growth over the period in question. One LEA saw an increase from 10,003 in SY 2019-20 to 23,750 in SY 2020-21. - One is a district that is not a traditional school system, and sees high rates of turnover and students who face many challenges. Thus, their rates tend to fluctuate more than traditional districts. - The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on schools and districts is also important to mention, as it took students out of schools at a crucial point during the Spring of the 2020 school year. Some students who faced boundaries in attending school virtually may not have been able to graduate during SY 2019-20. These students may have been part of the 2020 cohort, but graduated in 2021, inflating that year's rate. |
2020-2021 | SOUTH CAROLINA | 150, 151 | 695, 696 | Performance | Prior Year Rate Comparison (LEA): The SY 2020-21 Four-Year grand total graduation rate is higher/lower by 3 percentage points or more than the SY 2019-20 Four-Year graduation rate in 8 LEAs containing 500 students or more. While this may be correct, this is a larger change than we would typically expect to see. | The State indicated data are accurate as reported. |
