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.

The staff is amazing, great communication. Lots of trade classes available. Sports are good, but not soccer for boys, which caused us to have to travel to another school. Food service staff are super friendly.

Florence HS has been support of me for my entire HS and JH experience. This was important as I am considered gifted and talented, and had needs that went with that, which they assisted me in. It was also important that they support me in my rodeo endeavors, which led me out of state during some school days, and they did that as well. They are connected with the local college which provided opportunities for me to take college courses, and they also provided honors courses as well.

This High school needs to stick to one curriculum because it switches pretty often and now, the Honors English Freshmen are being taught things they've already learned in second grade (as an example).
