This school is considered one of the better schools in the Myrtle Beach area. I had a decent experience and I like that they gave me the option to finish out my junior and senior year at AAST. Since going to AAST my grades had improved dramatically and I am now more prepared for college. I also have multiple certifications already so when I graduate high school, I could go straight to work and start my experience in the major I'll be attending college for.

I do enjoy St James since it's gives a welcoming community within itself. I truly think they offer a vast amount of academics and lots of AP's for people to take.

I, personally, do not find this school good. The teachers and admin don't keep the students safe, they to certain people and not to others, and they do not offer all the stuff they promote.

As a concerned parent, I feel compelled to share my deeply frustrating and disheartening experience with St. James High School. Despite its reputation as an institution of learning, I have encountered an alarming lack of communication and limited teacher accountability that has left me deeply disapp...
