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.

As a 2023 graduate I can say a lot of good things. Advisors are amazing and teacher are always willing to help. Teachers keep in mind that school can be stressful and always make sure you are good mentally while getting good grades. School lunch is awesome and the diversity in school has grown so much. Make sure to join clubs as it is really fun interacting with other students. I can also say that JROTC was a good class to take. I wish I was more involved in school as I was senior year. Before I forget to mention that the safety here is top tier as well as education.

Many of the teachers I met during high school encouraged my academic journey, and I found most of them very understanding of different circumstances. I will note that some students there can be a little rowdy at times, but this is more of a fault with them than the school itself. The school food is typical, not anything mind-blowing in any regard. Overall, Nation Ford high school is a solid place for prospective middle schoolers graduating in the Fort Mill school district.

My daughter is a 2020 graduate, and entered college very well prepared despite the Covid lockdown. Excellent teachers, lots of class options, great arts and athletics, and a lot of AP opportunities. We were very pleased with her experience.

My family moved to this district per recommendations. I have found the teachers to be very supportive, helpful and genuinely caring. My daughter has an IEP and teachers have been great in helping her, offer more than enough times for her to come see them, communicate with me via email and more. The...
