Teaching Fellows Data

Facts and Figures

As of February 28, 2013, a total of 1,184 Teaching Fellows from the 2000-2008 cohorts have graduated from the Program. This number results in a 76% graduation rate.
73.1% of all Fellows graduates (866 Fellows) are currently employed in 72 South Carolina public school districts.
Of the 866 Fellows who are employed in SC public school districts, 54.3% (470) teach in Geographic Critical Need Schools. These schools meet at least one of the following three criteria:

1. An absolute rating of Below Average or At Risk

2. A teacher turnover rate of 20% or higher for the past three years

3. A poverty index of 70% or higher
(determined by students eligible for Medicaid or subsidized lunch)

501 Fellows graduates have satisfied their loan through teaching service; 84% (420) of these Fellows are still employed in a South Carolina public school district.
Nearly half (48.5%) of all Fellows who are employed in a South Carolina public school district have already satisfied through teaching service.
The program is funded through the South Carolina General Assembly, and as such the number of students admitted to each cohort is contingent upon the availability of funds appropriated by the General Assembly.
