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.

Florence High School has a very large range of classes to choose from!! There is definitely a class for everyone and everything! It is also full of great teachers and administrators who want the best for you. In some ways communication is not too great between parents and students and events. Speaking of events....there are so many fun events and activities. I also feel like there is a great sense of career readiness surrounding all of the many career technical classes!! I feel like I would have a big step ahead of everyone else continuing my education. I feel like it's a great place to learn!!

The teachers are nice. The school could stand to make sure there is always soap and paper towels in the restrooms. The academics have made me feel very prepared for college. The high school is connected to the local university means students can take college level courses ad well.
