R. D. Anderson is one of 126 schools across South Carolina to be selected as a 2003 Red Carpet winner. The State Department of Education implemented the Red Carpet Schools program as a way for schools to evaluate how they interact with their customers.
Schools must first complete a written application that details their family-friendly philosophies and environments, along with the methods used to self-evaluate those efforts.

Schools are then are screened by independent judges who rate how telephone callers and visitors to the school are treated. Judges do not identify themselves during telephone calls or site visits, and site visits are not announced in advance.

Schools are judged on a variety of factors, including the exterior and interior appearance of the campus, the way people are treated in person and over the telephone, and the information and programs available for families and visitors.

The efforts of Stanley Bishop, Industrial Relations/Placement Coordinator at R. D. Anderson, along with our friendly front-office staff, are to be commended.
