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.

My experience at the school has been somewhat in the middle all four years here. The faculty and staff care about their students and show that everyday we come to school. However, some of the students could be better with their respect to faculty. They could also treat the school facilities a lot better as well.

Sumter high school was an amazing school and was around an amazing environment. I adapted very quickly and got comfortable and i love the teachers and staff they guided me through being in school.
