Rating 4.07 out of 5 30 reviews
#1 Best Public High Schools in Florence County
Alum: For the four years, I was there I was helped a lot. Academics were a big deal for me when I was in high school. And for the most part, I had teachers who cared about me and wanted to see me succeed, and helped me when I needed it. The coaching there was great depending on what sport you played. I had plenty of great coaches who are willing to put in extra work. For the most part, this is a very good academic and athletic school. Would definitely recommend it!

#2 Best Private High Schools in Florence County
Parent: We love FCS! Our two kids have been going to FCS for a couple of years now. We pulled them out of public schools, due to some conflicts that arose with security of the public schools they were attending. It was by, by far, the best decisions we ever made. We have never once felt like our children were in an unsafe environment since they have been there. We love the small class sizes. We also love the fact that it is a Christian environment. They have an exceptional sports program, so there are no excuses for kids not to do extracurricular actives if they want to do so. We love the teachers and faculty.

Rating 3.61 out of 5 84 reviews
#2 Best Public High Schools in Florence County
Senior: Johnsonville High is a small town school in South Carolina that has a kind and understanding staff who aim to see that their students succeed. I personally have enjoyed my time at Johnsonville High; although, I believe that with more funding they could be even greater. Test scores tend to rank rather high, especially in the county, and overall I am proud to say I was a part of that.

#3 Best Private High Schools in Florence County
Junior: Carolina Academy has an awesome program with great teachers who are always willing to help you if you are in a bind. My one issue with CA is that we are a bit behind the times when it comes to technology and even availability of classes. We still use the old 6 period schedule, which is nice, but, as a high school student, it would be nice, and more flexible, if we made the change to block.

Wilson High School
Florence 1 Schools, SC
9-12
Rating 3.65 out of 5 202 reviews
#3 Best Public High Schools in Florence County
Senior: The Wilson High School atmosphere is one of methodical and disciplined learning that provides an environment for successful learning. Wilson sections students by grade and difficulty level of subjects to provide a more systematic way of learning. Students that need ample time to grasp the concepts get separated from the students that can comprehend concepts at a faster pace. When subjects such as mathematics, science, and language classes are together, teachers gain access to the ideas of other teachers. As a result, the learning environment of the students becomes more diverse. Due to the diversity and organization, Wilson High School helps students to succeed.

South Florence High School
Florence 1 Schools, SC

Rating 3.63 out of 5 174 reviews
Junior: Academics here are amazing. The teachers encourage us to take AP classes to earn college credits. South Florence is big on college readiness. There are many opportunities for you to take AP classes and also dual credit. Me personally, I recently took 2 dual credit courses and aced them! Starting next semester I'm taking 1 dual credit course. During my senior year, I'm definitely planning on taking more dual credit courses. I'm going to be walking into college with 9+ credit hours and I love it! I'm so thankful that this opportunity is offered at my school.

West Florence High School
Florence 1 Schools, SC
9-12
Rating 3.42 out of 5 405 reviews
Senior: I had a great experience at WF, but that was very personalized to me. I pursued the most difficult classes and made it a point to be involved in everything I could. I know a lot of people who were not as fortunate. The biggest thing I would like to see change in the facilities. It's so much bigger than a decision admin can make, but the school is 50 years old! It is old and has a lot of mold problems. Also, the entire freshman class is outside in mobiles and there isn't a real way to enforce safety with the set up. I do appreciate the steps forward they are taking in AP and STEM classes, but I wish they would invest into arts more too, even though that isn't my passion.

Lake City High School
Florence County School District No. 3, SC

Rating 3.41 out of 5 124 reviews
Senior: The teachers at Lake City High School Is a school that has amazing teachers, for our CATE classes. The CATE classes are classes that include Automotive, Masonry, Building Construction, and Fire Fighting. These teachers are what actually prove what life after school is about. These teachers proved to me the reality of life, such as work force, work till you can't anymore and strive for what you want. The negative down fall of Lake City High School would be the students that would ruin it. Some students have a downfall and show little to no respect for the teachers, which make it hard for students to learn. Also a negative down fall would be some of the teachers some teachers have little to no respect for students.

Covenant Life School
Private School
Gaithersburg, MD
PK, K-12
Rating 4.34 out of 5 32 reviews
Parent: Our family moved to CLS after our daughter had been in MCPS for five years. While our daughter was successful academically in public school and had many good relationships, she was academically very bored and we were concerned that her love of learning would “fizzle out”. We also wanted her to be in a positive christian environment, especially as she neared middle school age. We were very excited about the enrichment opportunities at CLS that our daughter had been missing out on.

We were not disappointed and do not regret the move to CLS. We love the school and our daughter is much more academically engaged. The classroom environment is positive and teachers are interested and invested in helping the kids to grow. Our daughter is learning, growing and is very happy. Thank you CLS! We already see our investment of paying for a CLS education paying off.
