Abstract

This report details South Carolina’s public school administrator workforce for the 2023–24 academic year. SC TEACHER publishes educator workforce profiles each year, covering public school teacher and administrator populations. Alongside the full breadth of SC TEACHER’s research, these profiles share information and insights with educators, policymakers, community members, and other stakeholders.

The analysis in this report draws on statewide data to examine the demographic characteristics of South Carolina’s principal and assistant principal workforce. Findings are based on data from 1,380 principals and 2,280 assistant principals employed in South Carolina public schools during 2023–24. The report also incorporates data from recent years outside of 2023–24 to track longitudinal trends, offering insight into patterns of workforce experience, tenure, and evaluation. These findings can support data-informed strategies to strengthen administrator retention, which in turn may contribute to broader efforts to improve the stability of South Carolina’s teacher workforce.
