School Report Cards

They also publish yearly School and District Report Cards. “Not to be confused with student report cards, these Report Cards provide information about each school and district, including test performance, teacher qualifications, student safety, awards, parent involvement and much more.”

School Attendance Zones

Public schools have attendance zones, or school attendance boundaries. “School district administrators create attendance areas to help organize and plan district-wide services, and districts may adjust individual school boundaries to help balance the capacity of local schools with changes in the local school-age population.” National Center for Education Statistics

Many new home buyers consult school attendance zone maps and school report cards before they choose a home.

Family Resources

The district websites are rich sources of information for new families. They include important topics like student registration, the academic calendar, the bell schedule, and multilingual student support. Each website has special pages for family resources:

Transportation - School Buses

The school district websites also explain the free school bus transportation that is available for your neighborhood. That includes the bus stops in your neighborhood. Parents are not required to use school buses for their children, they are not mandatory, but they are a free service that students are provided regardless of citizenship or visa status. They are available to all children in South Carolina who live more than 1.5 miles from school per South Carolina Title 59 – Education, Chapter 67, Transportation of Pupils; School Buses, Article 3.

Private Schools

Private schools are also listed on the SCDE website:

From this page, click “Directory Exports” for the spreadsheet titled, “Private Schools Listing.” Private schools in the Charleston-metro area are listed below. Unlike public schools, students must apply to be accepted into private schools. They charge tuition fees, often have a dress code that includes required uniforms, and transportation is usually provided by parents or guardians. The Charleston-metro area has several excellent private schools from which to choose. Some are single-gender only, refer to their websites for additional eligibility and admission information.

Charter Schools

Charter schools are public schools funded by taxpayers so usually do not have tuition fees. They are sometimes known for special academic emphases. They are also listed by the SCDE website by district under the heading, “Charter.” In the Charleston-metro area, currently only the Charleston County School District offers charter school options. They are:

International Baccalaureate® Programs

“The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.”

The Charleston-metro area has three IB schools, one for each level. Please see the list below. Families sometimes choose the IB diploma because it is accepted in other countries as a university entrance qualification when school-issued diplomas are not. In Germany, for example, an IB diploma is accepted as a qualification to begin study at a German university, thus avoiding additional preparatory courses at Studienkollegs or Arbitur examinations that are required for students who apply from the United States.
