Career Readiness Statewide Scores

2026 The South Carolina Career Readiness Assessment Scores - Statewide




Notes:

  1. These statistics may differ from those in state and federal accountability results. They were calculated based on where students tested regardless of school entry date.

  2. With the exception of students eligible for alternate assessments, all students in their third year of high school after their initial enrollment in the ninth grade were required to take four key areas (Math Assessment, Data Assessment, Reading Assessment and Soft Skills Assessment).

  3. This page reports SC Career Ready Credentials results from only the statewide test administration. Some students who were also tested elsewhere may have qualified for higher-level certificates than presented here. Also reported are level scores and scale scores.

  4. The Soft Skills Assessment test reports results for percentage of students who scored Pass or Fail instead of different levels.

  5. If the number tested is less than 20, no other statistics appear.
