Check the Sunshine Review page about each school district for more detailed information about what information is available on the school district website, along with recommendations SR users have made for positive changes.
In June of 2012, Sunshine Review re-evaluated the ten largest school districts in the state and found they averaged a "C+" website transparency grade. The ten districts were: Greenville County School District, Charleston County School District, Horry School District, Richland 1, Berkeley School District, Aiken School District, Richland 2, Lexington 1, Beaufort County School District, and Dorchester 2.
The rest of the evaluations were conducted in 2010, where the districts averaged a "D" website transparency grade.
Please check each district to see when it was last rated, if there is no time stamp then check the "History" tab to see when it was last edited.
