My school, Cheraw High School is an okay school. We don't often have the funding like other schools, so we do with what we have. For example, currently our air is broken so we have fans all around. The teachers are very educated and help the students achieve their goals. Overall, its a good school.

My experience at Cheraw High School was very standard. Coming from a low income area, the schools are not the best, and often times, teachers are not very helpful. Educational standards for low income schools are by far not as high as better funded schools, so there are a lot of things that I wish I would've experienced because I feel as though it would have better prepared me for my college experience.

The school wasn't perfect but as long as you kept to yourself and did what you were supposed to the you were fine. Some of the teachers were amazing and some need to rethink their occupation, the office staff is awesome and the principle and vice principal are great people. Overall I give Cheraw high 4/5
