This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

6/12/2025

Overall, Florence High School has a great academic curriculum. The classes that are offered are exceptional. The cosmetology program could use a boost. It's outdated.

4.0 Junior

11/28/2024

It's a really good school for the most part. Sometimes the administration makes bad decisions for the students, like when they did 1-way hallways, but usually it's good. The teachers are good and the departments are great. I think it'd be nice for them to hang up senior pictures for Fine Arts students as well, and not just the sports kids. I always see the senior football players but where are my seniors in show choir at? Good job cheerleaders but what about the dancers?
