Greenville County middle and high school students continue to score above the state average on the End-of-Course exams. The End-of-Course exam score counts 20% of a student’s final grade in the course.

In the 2015-16 school year, exams were given to students enrolled in the following high school credit courses:

  • Algebra I/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 (middle and high school)
  • English1 (middle and high school)
  • Biology 1/Applied Biology 2 (high school)
  • U.S. History and the Constitution (high school)

Greenville County Schools passage rates and mean scale scores increased in English I and US History and the Constitution from 2105 to 2016, while passage rates in Algebra I and Biology I scores decreased. Passage rates and mean scale score increases in GCS mirror increases for all South Carolina students.
