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.

This school is interesting. The sports program is not very well, it doesn't go very far. The band and music program on the other hand does very well. The band has placed first and then state champions for two years in a row now. And has a very large band compared to other schools.

My experience at Florence High School is pretty good. I have a few teachers who really care for me and help me learn.

Teachers have good communication skills, but a lot of the best teachers are lost to the prison system, because the prisons pay more. Teachers also aren't preparing students for college. A lot of students don't care, so to keep students from failing teachers make the work easier. Most students who graduate and continue on to higher education drop out of large universities and move back home to attend a smaller university or a community college.
