Summary:

The Charter Institute at Erskine district in South Carolina oversees a diverse portfolio of 27 charter schools, including 8 elementary schools, 8 high schools, and 11 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 40 out of 75 in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools within the district stand out for their exceptional academic performance. Gray Collegiate Academy and Oceanside Collegiate Academy are both high-performing high schools, ranked 7th and 10th in the state respectively, with very high proficiency rates on end-of-course exams and SC READY assessments. Brashier Middle College Charter High and Legion Collegiate Academy are also top-performing high schools, ranked 6th and 19th in the state, demonstrating exceptional academic achievement across multiple subject areas.

However, the district also has a mix of lower-performing schools, particularly among its virtual/online charter schools and those with high percentages of students from low-income families. Schools like Odyssey Online Learning and Virtus Academy of South Carolina struggle to meet state academic standards, highlighting the need to address disparities in educational outcomes across the district.
