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.

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

Overall, Cheraw High School is an overall average high school. I wish that there was more college readiness implemented throughout the school. I also think that some of the teachers need to try and teach a different style.

Cheraw High School is a very small 3A school, everyone knows everyone. The teachers and staff are very caring and are very knowledgeable in their respective subjects. I would like to see rules enforced equally throughout the school, that is my only major issue with the school as a whole.
