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.

It has been very enjoyable going to this school since they always have something planned for students to do stuff and be involved with the school making other experiences fun. I also enjoy the teacher and administrators since they are kind, awesome, and understanding making it easier to be open towards them and having trust. Honestly I really haven't had any bad experiences in this school that I can think of and if I could change something about this I wouldn't change it since I enjoy it the way it is.

My experience at Stratford so far has been okay I felt like I could've been better , I say this because the administration and teachers don't really care about us like mentally they just want to make sure that we do the work and that we dress appropriately and I also feel like Stratford does target certain students when it comes to certain things for example we're not allowed to wear crop top shirts and booty tight pants but when I comes to the black kids there so quick to get on us and write a referral but when I comes to the non black kids they just act as if they don't care what they wear and it's ok .Another thing is the administrators don't really have positive attitudes and feed always so quick to say negative things , when in reality they need to be focus on the school overall like how the school has random roaches all around the and how the bathroom never have soap or tissue , or how in the ladies bathroom they just do whatever in there and it's mainly never clean .

I've haven't had a bad experience and the people around me didn't either. But I know that some people out there might have worse experiences too. Some things that apply to all schools is the people in it. this also includes teachers because not all teachers are perfect. Other than that, Stratford is a pretty cool place to get involved in like clubs, sports, etc.

My experience at stratford quickly went from a 7 to a 2 within 3 years of being there. While walking the halls you can tell that nobody is happy to be there, classes are so unenthusiastic and arent engaging at all, our school spirit is very superficial and forced, they only fund sports and things th...

I am a parent of a Stratford graduate. Also, my youngest child attended Stratford until she went to the South Carolina Governor's School of Science and Mathematics. My children were under the old administration. Even back then the Band didn't have much money. The football team and the band have more...
