Clover High School Students Show Improvement on End-of-Course Tests

 

Clover High School students continue to improve on their previous performance and to outperform their counterparts across the state of South Carolina on the End-of-Course Examination Program (EOCEP).

 

“The South Carolina Profile of a Graduate sets a high bar for students to achieve as they prepare for college and career success. Our students’ performance on these assessments demonstrates the world-class knowledge and skills we want every student to acquire on the path toward graduation,” said Superintendent Dr. Sheila Quinn. 

 

Clover students saw increases in the percentage of students meeting or exceeding standards on three of the four exams. English 2 scores dipped by just a fraction of a percent.
