To better understand teacher retention in South Carolina, this report investigates longitudinal trends, as well as the relationship between school-level factors and one-year and three-year average teacher retention rates at the start of the 2022-23 academic year. Results are based on analysis of data collected from 1,267 public schools in 80 school districts across South Carolina. This report explores four key questions: (1) what are the trends in teacher retention rates across all South Carolina schools over the last six years?; (2) what are the relationships between South Carolina teacher retention rates and school-level factors?; (3) how do South Carolina teacher retention rates differ by school organization level, and how do these rates vary over time?; and (4) how do South Carolina teacher retention rates within organizational levels (elementary, middle, high) differ by: (a) school poverty level; (b) length of principal's tenure; and (c) geographical locale?
