Honestly, Horry County Schools district could definitely improve in many areas. For one, some of the policies are a little absurd, such as the dress code. I understand that it is appropriate for young adolescents to be covered up in a public school, but students go to learn, not to be sexualized by grown adults. Another thing that could improve is the teachers and social environment. Some teachers pick out favorite students and are more helpful to them when teaching. Some also act very unprofessional with the students by being a "buddy-buddy" relationship instead of teacher-student relationship.
I will say the Middle School level in North Myrtle beach is excellent, from the teachers to the administration.. they are extremely supportive of the students and truly want to see every student excel. The High school level is extremely disappointing... I have seen nominations for administrators that say things like "great school spirit" but nothing about the students. It is so sad as this is is the last school atmosphere students get before college. I was extremely disappointed in the administration at this school at how they belittle students and care more about lounge pants and if a student is in the library than if the school work is actually completed, or if the students are being supported. Also, very sad that HCS pays these administrators such salaries, to crush kids dreams and have them wanting to quit school all together, rather than feel encouraged and heard, and want to continue their education. True FAIL in administration at the High School level in NMB.
Horry County provides lots of chances for student success in their selected areas of interest. As a Pre-Medicine student, I have lots of opportunities to not only study what I care about but also to receive hands-on experience and practical knowledge. Being able to earn relevant certifications, like a pharmacy technician license, and have internship experiences in real facilities is invaluable to me as a student,
