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. 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.

During my three years of middle school I have always hated the dress code. 8th grade year they got really strict on us for wearing jackets that didn't show your school logo. I know it was for safety and all but they took it overboard. They started taking our jackets away and most of the time they never gave it back. Despite that fact, I have some good memories about that school. Prom was the best. Also our support for athelitic teams were the best especially the boys soccer team.

The Administration keeps the school safe and under control. There is a no tolerance policy for bullying. Every adult at Swain is involved with the student's success.

LC has a bad rap but as an educator and a parent, I'm extremely happy with the changes that Mr. Thomas and his staff have made. My children feel safe and are doing very well. The communication with teachers and staff is great too. Thanks LC!!
