Testing Information

What is the purpose of district assessments?

The South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE), in accordance with State Board of Education Regulation 43-220, requires the administration, scoring, and reporting of a norm-referenced test system.  The purpose of the assessment is to better understand where children are in order to best meet their individual needs and to identify potential students for academically gifted and talented programs.
