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.

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.

Fort Mill offers one of the best high school experiences I could ever imagine. The teachers and staff are some of the most kind, welcoming, and helpful I've met in all my years of school. They all have worked hard to ensure that I am prepared for college in both the academic and social aspects.

The best experience I had is with the teachers they make sure that we understand the subject and understand our schedules we also have flex to help us if we have any issues in any class we are taking. A bad experience I had is that we went into lock down because we found a suspicious package near our school.

Knowing the administrators at FMHS and NFHS and how much competition there is among applicants to fill teaching and coaching positions at FMHS; I have to say FMHS seems to me like the greater of the two great high schools in Fort Mill as of 2013. They...
