COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina education officials say 25 percent of the state's high schools met federal education goals this year.
And for the third consecutive year, not one of the state's 85 school districts met all of its goals.
Results released Wednesday show just 50 of the state's 200 high schools made "adequate yearly progress" under federal No Child Left Behind standards. That's down from 60 last year.
Overall, the state met 27 of 37 goals, down from last year's 28 goals met.
Results released earlier this month showed 18 percent of elementary and middle schools met all of their goals.
No Child Left Behind requires schools to meet annual goals toward the law's ultimate achievement -- that every student in America master grade-level standards by 2014.
