Overall, Loris High is a decent school. The curriculum being taught, as well as how it is taught, is just alright. However, it would be a lot easier to learn in an environment where my peers actually want to learn, too. In addition, I think more care should be given to women's sports. We can all applaud how big and grand the football department is, but it would be cool to see that love given to sports like softball.

I feel that some of the teachers could act like they care more about the students education. Teachers will pass every single kid even the principles. The main principle only cares about his reputation and the more money he can make , he treats like an alternative school but wonders why so many kids rebel against his dumb rules he makes. 3/10 is what i would rate the school.

Loris High School provides students with an adequate amount of freedom which is really good. However, there are a few rules I would suggest adjusting such as suspending someone for having a few tardies.
