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.

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.

I love the involvement between the facility and parents. Love how if there's something going on with my child their teacher will contact me directly to find a solution to the problem.

My Children attend Dewey L Carter. I feel like it is a terrible school. I decided next year that my children will attend another school in Florence district one. I feel like they treat some children differently then other students.
