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.

Personally, at the high school I attend I would like to see our facilities fixed up more. We have a bathroom that hasn`t worked in the four years that I have attended the school, regardless of how much myself and other students bring it up to administrators. However, a great part of my high school experience were the clubs that I partook in. I am a very active student and feel that my school offers a great deal of clubs, with each club promoting independence and teaching me various life lessons.

The worst part about this school would have to be the favoritism that goes into funding and opportunities. Sports get so much more funding than arts and it gives a biased look to the school. The best part would be the teachers and some of the administrators. They care and that's the most important thing they could do.

Overall, coming from a small town like Union, SC, there is a tight knit community that nurtures a lot of support. With that being said there is a lack of opportunity and funding. Our school is lacking in AP and foreign language opportunities and our facilities could use a renovation. The teachers have a great personal connection with all students, but there's simply not enough teachers to cover all necessary courses.
