Berkeley County School District Accelerated Classroom Technology... Berkeley County students have one of the state's best access rates to current technology with over 12,000 internet capable classroom computers. Last year 18 graduate level courses were offered to Berkeley County teachers. Numerous workshops and other staff development activities were also available.

Charleston County School District Charleston County School District is divided into eight (8) Contituent Districts, as illustrated below. Combined, all eight districts educate approximately 48,500 PK-12 students in 42 Elementary Schools, 13 Middle Schools, 8 High Schools, 12 Magnet Schools (applications are required), 4 Charter Schools, and 8 Programs.

Dorchester County School 2 Dorchester School District Two is dedicated to the belief that student achievement is the result of academic rigor and dedicated teachers and staff. We are proud to serve over 18,300 students in our seventeen schools. The nine elementary schools, five middle schools, and two high schools that make up the district school system are all accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The district also operates an alternative program at Givhans School. With its close proximity to Charleston, Summerville is experiencing tremendous population growth as families choose to make their homes in the area because of the award-winning school system.In an effort to address the growing student population, the district has embarked on a building program to construct two elementary schools opening in 2006, a middle school opening in 2007, and a high school opening in 2008.

Dorchester County 4 School District Dorchester 4 serves approximately 2600 students in Pre-K through Adult Education including gifted and talented education, special needs services, vocational training, and a wide array of core curricula and extra-curricula academic, artistic and athletic programs. The future of Dorchester County and the quality of life of each of our students depend upon our ability to focus everyday on improving student learning and engaging parents, businesses, and community members in actively supporting education.
