I think that Florence high school offers wonderful opportunities for all student no matter race. I find that the teachers at my school are wonderful people who are always ready to lend a helping hand and I find that they are good people who know how to do their job well and are always there for you when you need than. I don't think I would change anything about my school because even if it is a small school it is still a great school.

Small school, everybody knew everybody. It's a very clean, neat, and sports friendly school if that's what you are looking for. There wasn't a day that went by where I didn't enjoy coming to school, the teachers were the main reason for that as they are very cool and very eager to each you and make sure you have success in their classes.

Unfortunately, this school has serious issues that need urgent attention. Many students are struggling to learn effectively, as there seems to be a lack of engagement and support from the teaching staff. Additionally, there are concerning problems related to drug use that don’t appear to be adequate...

This is not a safe or suitable environment for any child — especially when the school fails to conduct proper background checks on its staff. Our children deserve better than this. Their safety, well-being, and education should always come first.

Graduated in 2013 and struggled so much in college because I didn't learn anything from my four years at Florence
