SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, DISTRICT LEADERS CELEBRATE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS WITH MAXIMUM SCORES ON SPRING SC READY ASSESSMENTS

Johnston, SC – Members of the Edgefield County Board of Education, alongside Edgefield County School District (ECSD) leaders, elementary school administrators, and family members, honored an elite group of elementary school students during the regularly scheduled monthly school board meeting held on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

Six ECSD elementary school students distinguished themselves academically with maximum possible scores on the 2026 Spring SC READY assessments. The SC READY assessments measure student proficiency in math, English Language Arts (ELA), and science in grades 3-8.

The following students scored in the highest percentage of the top 25-percent of students statewide by reaching the Highest Obtainable Scale Score (HOSS) on a spring 2026 SC READY assessment, achieving an even higher level of content mastery:

- Adrian Stewart of Douglas Elementary School (DES)
- Trent Collins of Johnston Elementary School (JES)
- Grayson Hartley of Johnston Elementary School (JES)
- Amir Quansah of Johnston Elementary School (JES) (Amir is now a JET Middle School student)
- Meredith Balliet of Merriwether Elementary School (MES)
- Tegan Kurschner of Merriwether Elementary School (MES)

Additionally, Meredith Balliet of MES earned the highest score possible in her Math and Science SC READY assessments marking the second consecutive year she has earned this prestigious academic recognition.

Congratulations to these students, their families, and their home schools.

Douglas Elementary School served up delicious meals from breakfast to lunch. Breakfast featured scrambled eggs, toast, and fresh oranges. 🍊 Now, lunch is getting started with creamy chicken Alfredo, broccoli, carrots, and fresh grapes. 🍇 @ECSD_SC

Physical defense and a punishing run game are Strom Thurmond staples, and both are still very much part of why the defending 2A champs are among the favorites again. Round one against Silver Bluff, though, was a chance to show the Rebels can throw it, too

Wondering why menus sometimes change? Supply shortages, delivery delays, and seasonal availability can all play a role. Our team is always ready with a nutritious alternative when needed. 😊
