• Real estate transactions for Sunday, December 14, 2025 (postandcourier.com) — Several Ladson properties, including commercial sites on Highway 78 and Ladson Road and homes in Hunters Bend and College Park, changed hands recently for prices around $250,000–$380,000. These transactions, drawn from county records, give a snapshot of what local buyers and investors are paying across Ladson and nearby communities like Summerville and Goose Creek. 
• Literacy group releases new OG data (postandcourier.com) — Ladson Elementary is seeing big benefits from teachers trained in the Orton-Gillingham reading approach, part of the expanding Lowcountry Literacy Project in Charleston County schools. New data from other participating schools show faster reading growth and shrinking achievement gaps, and Ladson’s instructional coach says the training is already strengthening foundational literacy skills for local students. A public documentary screening on the effort is planned in Charleston next month.
