I loved Flora. I loved the diverse environment, the dedication of the teachers, and exciting opportunities they offered. Even during COVID, most of my teachers were engaging and put in effort to help us learn. I did IB, so my teachers were definitely the best of the best. However, even before IB, I had a lot of good teachers that loved their jobs. In addition, administration works diligently to create a welcoming environment for every student. Even though there was some level of fighting and violence, I never felt unsafe or at risk. I think it is important to be exposed to real-world situations and different types of people. I definitely would recommend Flora to any rising freshmen.
Great teachers and staff! The school does an excellent job of communicating with parents and students. There are many opportunities for students to excel. They have IB classes, AP classes, Honors, College Prep.
Although located in the middle of old- fashioned South Carolina, A.C. Flora has taught me things that cannot be taught under any different circumstances. After the tragic losses of two students, one with whom I was very close to, the entire school learned a valuable lesson about community and the importance of school spirit. School spirit for us was no longer shouting at the other basketball teams when they made bad calls, but instead a sense of unity between all classes and how important it was to cherish everyone at flora, even if we were not close. Instead of preparing for graduation, the seniors instead mourned the loss of an outstanding classmate and friend, and in turn, everyone else mourned, not only for our dead friend, but for their lost innocence, and a rude abrupt start to adulthood. A.C. Flora saw community during a time, and a whole year, of hardship, something that will always be more important than the 5 state championships won this past year.
