East End Elementary Celebrates GOOD Rating on 2025–2026 South Carolina School Report Card
EASLEY, S.C. — There is a lot to celebrate at East End Elementary School! The Bulldogs have earned a GOOD rating on the 2025–2026 South Carolina School Report Card, highlighting the hard work, dedication, and commitment to student success happening throughout the school.
According to South Carolina's School Report Card rating system, a GOOD rating means that a school's performance exceeds the state's established criteria for student success.
For East End Elementary, this recognition represents much more than a rating. It reflects the daily efforts of students, teachers, staff, families, and the entire school community working together to help every Bulldog succeed.
Bulldogs Perform Above State Averages
One of the school's most exciting accomplishments is that East End students outperformed the South Carolina state averages in all three tested subject areas: English Language Arts, mathematics, and science.
English Language Arts: East End earned 63.8%, compared to the state average of 61.5%.
Mathematics: East End earned 54.3%, compared to the state average of 47.8%.
Science: East End earned 63.5%, compared to the state average of 51.8%.
These results reflect the strong instruction, meaningful learning experiences, and intentional support provided to students each day.
From small-group instruction and targeted interventions to hands-on learning opportunities and engaging classroom experiences, East End teachers and staff continue to create an environment where students are challenged, encouraged, and supported.
Fourth Grade Science Scores Soar!
Among this year's achievements, fourth-grade science results are especially worth celebrating.
East End's science performance increased from 52.0% in 2024–2025 to 63.5% in 2025–2026, an impressive 11.5 percentage-point gain!
The school's science performance also exceeded both the district average of 57.5% and the state average of 51.8%.
Because science is assessed at the elementary level in fourth grade, this accomplishment is a special celebration of East End's fourth-grade students and the educators who have supported their learning throughout their elementary years.
This significant improvement highlights the importance of building scientific understanding through exploration, critical thinking, meaningful instruction, and hands-on experiences.
More Than a Rating
While the GOOD rating is certainly worth celebrating, East End Elementary recognizes that student success is about much more than test scores.
Every day, Bulldogs are learning to become confident readers, problem-solvers, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens. Through academic instruction, intervention programs, enrichment opportunities, and strong partnerships with families, the school remains committed to meeting the needs of the whole child.
East End's BARK expectations—Bravely Lead, Actively Engage, Respect Others, and Keep Kindness—continue to guide the school's commitment to both academic excellence and positive character development.
These accomplishments are a reflection of the collective efforts of an entire school community. From classroom teachers and instructional assistants to interventionists, related arts teachers, support staff, and families, everyone plays a role in helping Bulldogs grow.
Celebrating Today, Growing Tomorrow
Earning a GOOD rating is an accomplishment worth recognizing, but the work does not stop here.
East End Elementary will continue building on these successes by strengthening instruction, celebrating student growth, and providing meaningful opportunities for every student to achieve.
The school community has much to be proud of, and these results offer another reason to celebrate what makes East End such a special place to learn.
Congratulations to our students, teachers, staff, and families! Your hard work, dedication, and Bulldog pride continue to make a difference.
It's GOOD to be an East End Bulldog!
