Carry over texts from one scene to another?

Hello. I am making a game that is 2D and for Android. I recently made a post asking how to set a score to zero using a button. Before the post, I made the score update every second and the text would carry over. Now the score is only updated every time you score a point, which is good, and pressing the button does make it to zero. The score does transfer over, but the text doesn't actually show it. What I mean is that it knows how many points are scored but the text just says New Text instead of saying Score: 24 ( For example ) What needs to be done for it to show the score instead of saying New Text?

The scoremanager script is

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class ScoreManager : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public static int score; // The player's score.
     Text text; // Reference to the Text component.
     
     void Awake ()
     {
         text = GetComponent <Text> ();
     }
     
     public void SetScore (int newScore)
     {
         ScoreManager.score = newScore; //update the static score variable
         text.text = "Score: " + score;
     }
 }

and the script that actually detects for a point to be added is

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Score : MonoBehaviour {
     public int scoreValue = 1;
     public ScoreManager scoreManager;
     
 
     
     void OnMouseDown () {
         scoreManager.SetScore(ScoreManager.score + scoreValue);
     }
 }
