Welcome to Darlington County School District
In the Darlington County School District, we believe in challenging our
students and pushing their boundaries through classroom and life experiences,
rigorous standards, and innovative teaching. The DCSD is a countywide district
serving more than 10,400 students in 23 schools. All schools and the district
are fully accredited on the state and national level by the Southern
Association of Colleges & Schools/AdvancED and the S.C. Department of
Education. Our District provides challenging educational experiences for all
children. In addition to regular classes, DCSD offers elementary and middle
school magnet programs in the arts, sciences, mathematics AND technology. Three
high schools offer academic magnet programs, including an International
Baccalaureate School, an early college degree program, and a top-ranked STEM
school. For students who struggle academically, our district offers
interventionists and computer- assisted learning. Darlington County School
District is committed to providing a technology-rich education by providing a
fully connected educational environment. By 2017, we expect to have a
digital device in every student’s hands. Our robotics programs enhance STEM
offerings at every level while providing students with new ways to explore
science, math, technology and engineering. Our district also offers
computer-based programs to evaluate and differentiate instruction, online
coursework, and/or online credit-recovery tools for our students.
In the Darlington County School District, we strive to build a world- class
school district by focusing on every child, every day.
