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.

James Island Charter High school has been a great school for me. They offer so many AP/IB options as well as Trident Tech classes. I feel very ready for college and I am very grateful for my school to have prepared me so thoroughly.
