I've been going to school in Florence, MS since 4th grade, about 8 years now, and I can say with confidence that I have enjoyed going to all the schools. It is the perfect small town school where you just know everyone and everyone is kind and nice. The faculty is really great and they really care about the students and each other. And the extra curricular activities are amazing too. I would like to see women be able to play more sports. but overall the school is really good.

My time at Florence High School has been incredibly fulfilling. The abundance of leadership and positivity within the administration has been inspiring, and the mantra 'once an eagle, always an eagle' accurately captures the school's commitment to its students.

It's adequate. Nothing really excels as best in the state but also nothing is too poor to consider making a fuss over.

I am a former student (2005 grad). I am shocked it is rated an 8.... My reasons for one star rating: - Extreme disciplinary problems - No parent involvement - Teachers gossip and bully worse than students - I was so poorly prepared for college. I can count on two hands, including myself, the people...
