How to read this. South Carolina suppresses results for groups with too few students tested. Schools without a reportable Black student result are excluded rather than shown as zero — 1,241 of the state's schools have reportable data. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, South Carolina figures should not be compared against another state's.
