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.

Summerville High school has good and bad parts. Some good parts of Summerville is the variety they have for different sports and the academics they have and how they reward students who do well on their report cards. Another good part about Summerville is the environment at Summerville and the pep rally's they have and how teachers support one another and help each other out. Some bad parts of Summerville is the way people treat one another and how students treat teacher's. Another bad part about Summerville is the safety at the school they should have more safety measures to keep everyone in the school building safe.

As a 2022 Summerville High School graduate, I remember being a Sophomore in high school, and Covid happening. When this happened, the social life for all highschoolers in America was destroyed. Summerville was not a bad school, it is just in a bad area. I am the fourth generation to come out of Summerville and this town has grown up a lot since then. Overall Summerville does an okay job prepapring students for college as I now am a Clemson University student along with some other Summerville Alumni.

Going to school at Summerville was a very nice experience. During my final year at the school my guidance counselor was very helpful to me when it came to applying for scholarships and colleges. They provide lots of opportunities to prepare you for the real world as well.

I came here to get an education towards information that would be helpful for my career. Instead I learned how to do worksheets, read textbooks, and continuously prepare myself for quizzes and tests that prepare me for more tests known as exams. Since when is a student's test score more important th...
