6/19/2025
Florence was a fantastic school. Its location in the Deep South made it lacking in the diversity department, but the community was tight. In a small town like Florence, everyone knows everyone. The staff put an insane amount of effort into making sure the information they taught us would stick, and our results in our district testing leaderboards mirrored this.

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.

The school administration does not care about its students. If you are bullied, if you have concerns, they treat you like you do not exist. I have graduated a year early just so i could leave the school.

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...
