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.

Overall Socastee High School is a outstanding school. Numerous Opportunities are available at the school and anyone's career path can begin here. Two things I dislike about Socastee is the Restrooms and the occasional difficulties accessing guidance.
