Definitions: 1981 and 1990 data is based upon the BSAP (Basic Skills Assessment Program) - Administered from 1981 through 1998 to students in the third, sixth, eighth, and tenth grades to determine student skills in reading, math, writing and science. 2002 data is based upon the PACT (Palmetto Acheivement Challenge Test), a standardized test given to students in grades 3 through 8 in the areas of math and language arts in effort to measure student improvement in mastering more rigorous classroom curriculum. The PACT is designed to be more challenging than the Basic Skills Assessment Program (BSAP) test which it replaced in 1999. The data for year 2009 is based on the new PASS test administered in SC schools, which replaced PACT.
