Got have a new principal 2 yrs ago, and she is wonderful. There have been lots of positive changes, including more opportunities for parents and children to get involved. The rules aren't as strict as before, welcoming environment for everyone.

In Edisto Highschool my experience has been pretty good so far. With sports, in classrooms, in the cafeteria, and the school system itself is all good. There are times where things get a little under organized in my school but the administration tries their best to get the problem solved.
