Spartanburg District 5 is dedicated to fostering the education of the youth. It is not without it's own flaws, but it truly does try to lift up it's students. A suggestion I would make would be in it's usage of funds, as some of the facilities in some of the schools are starting to show signs of age and wear. If these could be renewed, then it would greatly improve both the district and the student's quality of education.
Our 2 children were upset about attending new schools when we moved to SC in 2012. However, after meeting their peers, teachers, counselors, and principals our children were joyful and settled by the end of the first week. That joy has been consistently on their countenances, year after year, almost 8 years later.
To our children, District 5 schools have been one of the best highlights of living in Spartanburg County, SC. I can honestly say that throughout their secondary educational experience, time and time again, either a teacher, counselor, or principal took my children under his or her wing and mentored them. There has never been a time that my children were not treated with dignity and respect, and then some, while in the care of a District 5 School.
Now I have to say with the utmost honesty that through the years, I have witnessed this same treatment being extended to all students. District 5 just has a way of making every student feel special. We love District 5Schools!

Teachers are friendly and welcoming. High School is currently undergoing some much needed renovations but otherwise is a really nice school. Admin is always willing to go the extra mile to support students.
