Charleston, South Carolina, is a historic coastal city of about 158,000 residents, blending deep-rooted Southern charm with a thriving tourism, healthcare, and port economy. Its public schools fall under the Charleston County School District, with elementary reading proficiency around 54% and math at 49%, and an 85% district graduation rate—slightly above state averages. While elite magnet and private schools excel, many downtown schools struggle with performance and enrollment—highlighting persistent equity gaps and community distrust. The area is home to celeb natives like musician Darius Rucker, host Stephen Colbert, and chef Kardea Brown-Smith, adding cultural flair.
With a rich heritage, growing education investments, and a strong civic identity, Charleston continues working toward inclusive opportunity for all residents.
