GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I would like for the school to have better food options, and for bullying or violence to be looked out for more. There were many fights when I attended blhs.

My experience in Batesburg-Leesville High school, I have to say has been the best. Yes, I have been stressed with school, but all the teachers are willing to help you with anything you need. You have teachers everywhere willing to help you when you need them, no matter the situation. I couldn't ask for a better school to be in through my four years. We were up for palmetto's finest and got to finals it was really good. It's not very big but I will tell anyone who asked, Batesburg-Leesville the best school I've ever been to.

But my entire social life revolves in this school wi...

It might have been a decent school for those with no mental disabilities, but for those that did, at least for my personal experience, was a total nightmare. I was expelled in ninth grade due to the staff's and faculty's "inability to properly handle the situation". Now my review is coming from arou...

Batesburg-Leesville High School has offered my son an excellent opportunity to excel in the classroom. The small class sizes and teacher involvement gives all students the one on one attention that you won't find in a larger school. My son also plays sports and has received many opportunities on the...
