4 out of 5 because not only about the learning, but all the memories we get to make on a good or bad day. Sport events are always a great time and now having a lot more outlets for numerous opportunities.

Wade Hampton is a great school in that it offers lots of help from staff and administration. If there was everr a question i needed answered there was always someone there with an answer.

I liked how all of the educators had a passion for what they taught. Each teacher that I had had extensive knowledge and past field experience in the area that they taught. I wish that Wade Hampton would have relinquished a little control on dress code. I think that it is juvenile to believe that students will get distracted from their educational experience by the color of a person's hair or if the rips on a pair of jeans is an inch above the knee. If students do get distracted then that is on them and their lack of self-control.
