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.

There's a lot of niche groups at Wade which is great and allows you to cultivate your own! Some of the administration is a hassle to get around when you have a question which isn't super helpful. Overall I had a great time at Wade Hampton.

At my high school we have advisory, which is supposed to teach us about mental health and its importance. No one really pays it much attention, but I think that instead of doing mandatory lessons. It should be more of a brain break where we make cards for a nursing home or have our teacher talk about mental health. School is hard sometimes and oftentimes there aren't a lot of ways to bring us together and I think this would be a great addition to our school community.

Wade Hampton High School is a great school that makes students feel welcome. There is a lot of school spirit, but most importantly, the faculty are there to help students when they are going through tough times. It was very helpful to have them there for me when my friend past away in May 2023.

Awesome school! New building, with a lot of pride! Two huge trophy cases, a data wall, and a banner court in the lobby all displaying our achievements and success! The building is huge, but very easy to navigate, and very bright. The administration is wonderful! They are extremely easy to work with...
