 South Carolina ranks better than just five states in the overall wellbeing of its children, according to a national report released Monday.

The Kids Count survey from the Annie E. Casey Foundation found that the overall ranking of the state’s children slipped two spots from last year’s report, to 45th overall in children’s ability to succeed.

The report uses a variety of indicators to come up with a state’s ranking, like economics, education and health.
