South Carolina Teacher Workforce Profile for 2022–23

SC TEACHER’s research mission includes publishing yearly reports that detail the South Carolina educator workforce, sharing insights with educators themselves, policymakers, community members, and other stakeholders. This report is an annual review of the state's public school teacher workforce. Analysis in this study uses statewide data from 2022–23, plus available data from published reports, to compare the demographics of South Carolina’s teacher workforce with that of other states and nationwide. This report also provides a longitudinal view of state trends by examining data over three academic years from 2020–21 to 2022–23. Results are based on analysis of data collected from 54,106 South Carolina teachers with positions categorized as regular classroom teachers (PK–12 grades), special education (selfcontained, resource, or itinerant), and retired teachers.
