excellence. The Palmetto Gold

historically lower- and higher-achieving demographic
groups of students The Education Oversight Committee
establishes the criteria for the awards, and the State
Department of Education then applies those criteria to
determine which schools are honored. The criteria for
General Performance awards are based on the absolute and
