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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Strom Thurmand is a school that continues to do the unexpected. I joined the Rebel family as a freshman and since then the school has progressed and changed so much. I know as a student that we love to complain about the little things, but when I really contemplate all this school tries to share, I can't help but be left with astonishment.

Strom Thurmond High School is an amazing academic and athletic school that provides many courses and extracurricular activities for its students. This school is quite diverse and has many opportunities for its students, including the career and technology center that prepares students to enter the workforce either after high school or college graduation.

Even though COVID highly impacted my Freshmen year, Strom Thurmond HS has taught me a lot about life and many different things that I know I'll use for the rest of it. Coming to Thurmond helped me realize what I want to do with the rest of my life. Although it's not the biggest, coolest, or fanciest school out there, it has the most heart and dedication to being a "rebel," and I will always cherish that.
Great school. I was class of 2012 and really enjoyed my 4 years as a Rebel! Great teachers (for the most part) who really care about the students and love the subjects they teach. I would highly recommend Strom Thurmond to anyone.

Strom Thurmond High School is a terrible school and I would not recommend it to anyone. When I am older, I will make sure that my children do not attend such a school! The lack of discipline is awful; the majority of the student population is impudent, not willing to learn, and are lacking a proper...
