South Carolina state performance reports

Overview

In late 2026, various reports highlighted different aspects of South Carolina’s state performance. An American Society of Civil Engineers report assigned the state an overall infrastructure grade of ‘C-’, an improvement from the ‘D+’ grade in 2021. While ports and aviation showed relative strength, categories such as bridges, dams, roads, transit, and water systems received grades of ‘D+’ or lower due to aging infrastructure and funding shortfalls.

Concurrently, the State Superintendent of Education released 2026 school report cards indicating academic progress. The number of schools rated as ‘Excellent’ increased, and the on-time graduation rate reached 87.5%. Despite these statewide gains, specific areas like math proficiency in certain districts showed a need for further intervention.
