Each year, School and District Report Cards are posted on the South Carolina Department of Education’s website. These Report Cards provide information about each school and district, including test performance, teacher qualifications, student safety, awards, parent involvement, and much more.

We are proud to say that Cherokee Trail Elementary School has an EXCELLENT rating! This is a testament to the hard work of each student, teacher, and parent that makes CTE a special place! See the report card at this link: https://ed.sc.gov/data/report-cards/sc-school-report-card/

Dixie High School football players and cheerleaders spent some time reading to our K–5 students on Halloween! Our elementary students loved having these high school role models visit their classrooms and share the joy of reading. Thank you to our Dixie High School athletes and cheerleaders for inspiring our young learners and spreading school spirit!

Accelerated Reader (AR) gives our students the chance to choose books at their own reading level and then take a short quiz to check their understanding. We are so proud of all the students who met their AR goal for the first nine weeks!

To celebrate, our 2nd–4th-grade students enjoyed a fun afternoon of bingo and a popcorn bar with Mrs. Crawford, while our 5th–6th-grade students were treated to pizza, a popcorn bar, and an exciting Mario Kart tournament in Dr. Newton’s office!

Frequent or last-minute changes can disrupt our transportation system and may impact student safety and the orderly operation of buses, as outlined in district policy.
