Get Informed
Data and statistics about education are all around us; it is hard to make sense of it all. The EOC was created to cut through the noise and inform the public on the status of public schools in the State. Transparency and accountability are important in making decisions at the school, district and system level that benefit all students and communities.
Why Education?
Want your kids to support themselves? Help create and sustain a safe community and a thriving economy? Support you? Then you’d better care about your schools, because that’s where it all begins. No institution in our society matters more.
Thinking Bigger
“We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist … using technologies that haven’t been invented … in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.”
Richard Riley, former SC Governor, 1979-1987, US Secretary of Education, 1993-2001
Rankings & Stats

We’re falling even further behind our peers around the country, a fact that we can’t ignore. It’s time to get informed about the status of education in our state—our children deserve it!
