District Five “PASS”es new standardized test
Even though the test changed, students in Lexington-Richland Five are still at the head of the class when it comes to performance on standardized tests.
The South Carolina Department of Education released results of the 2009 administration of the new Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) that replaced the 10-year-old Palmetto Achievement Challenge Tests (PACT) as the state’s accountability measurement of student achievement.
Lexington-Richland Five students had the second highest percentage of students statewide score at the Exemplary - or highest - level in the English/language arts, math and social studies portions of the test. District students were in the top five districts for students scoring Exemplary in the writing and science sections.
