Spartanburg School District Four is accredited by the SC Department of Education and AdvancEd. These accreditations indicate Spartanburg Four’s compliance with standards established by these agencies. The district must provide evidence that it is meeting the following AdvancED standards: 

Standard 1: Purpose and Direction

Standard 2: Governance and Leadership

Standard 3: Teaching and Assessing for Learning

Standard 4: Resources and Support Systems

Standard 5: Using Results for Continuous Improvement

AdvancED accreditation is a continuous process where the district examines its procedures and practices against these standards during an Internal Review. Following this self-assessment, an External Review Team will visit the district every five years to examine evidence and practices to support the standards. The district provides annual updates of its progress toward the established goals.
