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.

It's a nice school but it has some things to work on. Almost every day there is a fight that would last a little too long before administrators got involved to break it up. During my senior year they took in twice as many freshmen as they normally do and while doing so made it too were getting through the hall's was a hassle due to the crowd in the narrow hallways. On the positive side the teachers were nice I was helped to find career choices that were easy for me. My guidance counselor helped to show me scholarship that would help me further my education.

This High School has been wonderful to go to because of the culture of people but over all it is kind of a bad high school. It isn't very sanitary, the food is nasty, the admin don't do a lot to stop anything, and there are vaping and smoking literally everywhere. You can even find people doing it in the bathroom's sometimes. The teachers are ok, you will find that some of them are really good at their job and others not so. Our sports are kinda meh, football is really bad, but our only good sports are, track, baseball, softball, and wrestling. Overall I would give this school three and a half star rating.

The only complaints I have with this school is the quality of the teachers; they are very hit-or-miss. Other than that, I love this place.

What other HS has fights on the first day and multiple on the first week of school? The hallways are so overcrowded that is becomes a mosh pit to get to eac...

Horrible school. Full of bullies and they do nothing to the ones that are from Lugoff or their families are. Good ole boys system. Not even based on money either. Teachers do not care whatsoever about the students. Just there for a paycheck. Know many people in education around the state and the thi...

The staff and administrators at this school are unsupportive and rude. Many of them speak down on students or the way they work. The school is also never clean and there are plenty of janitors.

Throughout my time at this school I’ve experienced nothing short of racism, homophobia, and sexism. The officials at this school continuously refuse to do anything about it and would rather sit in their offices all day complaining about girls with visible bra straps than do their jobs.
