Byrnes has a lot of opportunity for its students whether through academics, sports, or the fine arts. As a member of the marching band and it's band programs, I am proud to be apart of byrnes as we apart of the upper ranks in the nation and lead in the state this past season. Academic-wise there is tutoring and always teachers helping students. Combine that with a inviting and helping student body, there is always a way to get good grades and keep them.

My experience through this high school was just okay honestly. It wasn't extraordinary but it wasn't bad either. This school just falls in the middle. It could be better and it is slowly just slowly getting there. The school is expanding and it's rather landlocked so the only way to go is up for the developers. It has not been fun hearing construction throughout the school day but that's just how it is.

The administrators pick and choose who gets in trouble even if they do the same thing only one person will get punished for it. Teachers are either great or terrible. Most of them are great though. The cafeteria is terrible 3/10 do not recommend but the café food is good

Worst school I have sent my kids to, teachers don’t know what they are teaching, kids get bullied.
