I recently moved to Charleston, therefore I am enrolled in a Charleston County school now. I am very happy where I am compared to the other school districts I attended school at. Charleston County has administrators that give you many chances to succeed and they also try to get to know each student personally. These are the type of people that never want to see you fail and genuinely care about your success. I am now enrolled in trident classes after an uncertainty about wether I would graduate on time or not. Without the transition to Charleston County from Berkeley County, I would've been off track from my graduation, and deeply struggling in my environment. There are a few kinks that need to be worked out like the amount of clubs at my school, but in general, Charleston County is a wonderful school district that many students will thrive in!
In the Charleston County School District, I attended Charleston County School of the Arts which is a magnet school that allows students interested in art of almost any kind a place to study and improve their skills. Charleston County provided me with excellent amenities whether it be through beautiful schools and campuses to art supplies. Charleston County however lacks basic communication skills with students and parents, has over full classrooms with poor classroom management, and has some of the lowest parent involvement I have ever seen. These things I believe if improved would cause Charleston County School district to feel a closer connection to students and parents as well as schools themselves and overall create a more caring and involved school district.
In my experience of learning in Charleston, South Carolina I have met many good people including teachers and fellow students. From kindergarten to my senior year, which I now am in, I have seen how strong my education really is. I am thankful to have learned in such a populated and competitive environment because i have learned to push myself to be the best student I can. At my high school there are over 5,000 people which shows just how populated this area is. I do believe that such a heavily populated school has downsides such as large classrooms and difficulty meeting new people. When classes have up to 30 kids per teacher, it is hard to focus, learn, and interact with your teacher. If I had not been involved in extracurricular activities then I would have had a lot of trouble meeting new people and making friends. I do sense that there is a major lack in diversity in these schools but I hope in the future this will change.
