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.

Great Staff! The teachers and other staff really care for the students! I love the teacher-parent communication, they always keep me informed and updated on my children and what is going on in the school! They have a great after-school program! Also, the school is very clean!

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.
