No good news for South Carolina school systems after AYP results released

NORTH AUGUSTA -- The Annual Yearly Progress report is out for South Carolina schools, and it's not good news.

As a whole, the Palmetto State did not meet federal standards. Only 27 percent of 908 elementary and middle schools made AYP this year, compared to 61 percent in 2010.

Both Aiken and Edgefield's school systems did not make adequate yearly progress. In fact, only eight of Aiken's 38 public schools met AYP standards. Just one of Edgefield's schools made adequate yearly progress.
