Bringing a school up from “below average”

In front of the county trustees, a school principal explained how he and his faculty intend to raise their individual state school ranking from “below average.”  Principal Josh Harrison presented a plan designed to not only better educate the below average pupils at Fair-Oak Elementary School, but to better educate the school’s top students.  He said his school in the 2023 South Carolina School Report Cards fell into the below average category by one grading point. Harrison has the confidence of Dr. Thorsland, district superintendent.  Thorsland says in his first year at the school, Harrison is doing an outstanding job.
