For plain facts and hard data on the performance of SC schools the SC Education Oversight Committee Searchable Report Card Database is an excellent resource! The report cards are searchable by county, district and individual school with advanced options that narrow the range to certain grades and by Poverty Index as well.
To offer a general idea of who compiles and publishes the report cards, I've copied the following from their home page:
"The South Carolina Education Oversight Committee (EOC) is an independent, nonpartisan group made up of 18 educators, business people, and elected officials who have been appointed by the legislature and governor to enact the South Carolina Education Accountability Act of 1998. The Act sets standards for improving the state's K-12 educational system.
The EOC provides regular, routine and ongoing review of the state's education improvement process, assesses how our schools are doing and evaluates the standards our schools must meet to build the education system needed to compete in the next century. The committee accomplishes its work through three subcommittees and the full committee. Each of the subcommittees addresses issues that support higher levels of student achievement."
