SC READY Results
Each spring, South Carolina students in grades 3 through 8 take the SC READY tests in reading and math, and students in grades 4 and 6 also take the SC READY science test. These tests measure how well students have learned the state’s standards for their grade. Every student lands in one of four levels: Does Not Meet, Approaches, Meets, or Exceeds Expectations. When we report the percent who “Met or Exceeded,” we mean students working at or above grade level.
How We Compare

One School, A New Name
Why does the report card say Horse Creek Academy Kershaw?
Bridlewood Academy is the new name of our school. The 2025-26 report card covers our final year as Horse Creek Academy Kershaw, so the state still lists it under that name. Same school, same school ID, same principal.
