Teachers are great and the education is great. The school is safe. As far as sports or activities, nepotism is rampant. You may have to get a job there or your kid will more than likely be overlooked.

There is hardly any college prep. The guidance counselor was so unhelpful. She sat down with us one time and gave zero helpful advice. Racism is everywhere, bullying is normal, and if you cannot fit into their mold, you will be ridiculed. The staff do nothing about this in fact they are part of the problem, there are almost no safety measures in place. As an alumni I would never send my child to this school.

Thomas Sumter Academy is a great college prep school. It is small so you know pretty much everyone there, which I prefer over a public high school with very large classes. The teachers are great and I feel a sense of community there.

Love the intimate Christian environment my child is experiencing. I find the school covert challenging academically and in extra-curricular activities. There is a true sense of family and the school seems much more diverse than the numbers on this site indicate. The low teacher/student ratio is a hu...

Love the small class size and individual attention the kids get. This school is the best possible fit for our preschooler. We are a military family and are sad to PCS and leave Thomas Sumter in 2 years. It’s been the highlight of our time here in Sumter.
