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.

The best part is the resources that you can get if you can reach out and the bad thing is that is it that it is sort of hard to get ahold and schedule time to get to these resources.

Students aren't well behaved but other than the students and a few of the teachers, it is a really good school. I recommend the engineering classes and year two engineering counts as a science.

I would not say South Charleston High School is a horrible school, it just lacks some things but nothing is perfect. I love being there and all the teachers are very supportive. They care about the kids and so do the principals. Many students just wish the school and the school system as a whole was more organized, more opened on important topics and better with College Planning.
