    #1 Best School Districts in York County

    Senior: Overall, this district is really good. I’ve been attending the fortmill schools since pre-k, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else! I went to the original Riverview when I was younger and they had GREAT teachers! Middle school was a very good experience too. I went to Banks Trail in the 3rd year of its opening and they had some top notch teachers as well! I attend FMHS, and it’s really good as well. The only really downside is the school is fairly old. They did renovate part of the main office, but the some of the hallways, classrooms and especially bathrooms need to be updated. Also it’s kind of weird because they added the old Riverview elementary school as part of a wing for freashman. I wish they wouldn’t do that because they aren’t able to socialize with the upperclassman, and I think that basically gives them another year of middle school and not high school. I would give the whole district a 8/10, only because the high school needs updating.

    Junior: Clover High School is a school with great academics and wonderful teachers, the student body could be more enthusiastic but the learning environment for the most part is great! I recommend this school to anyone who is looking to excel in high school.

    #3 Best School Districts in York County

    Alum: York School District One was my home from 3rd grade all the way to High School Graduation!! It prepared me for my future at Clemson University, while also giving me multiple opportunities to get involved with things such as baseball and the band program! The teachers were outgoing and wanted success to be at the forefront of every day. I also had the pleasure of having Mr. Christopher Black as my principal. An outstanding man to say the least. I am so unbelievably proud to be a York Comprehensive High School Alum!

    #4 Best School Districts in York County

    Senior: I've attended Rock Hill Schools since I was 4. The teachers who teach in Rock Hill are the absolute best. They're not only a teachers but they are a friend, mentor, and shoulder to lean on. All my teachers I've had I had a great bond with. The curriculum we learn in Rock Hill is great. Everything I've learned has connected with another class or helped me in life. Rock Hill School overall are pretty amazing. Some things I'd like to see change are more updated equipment. In my generation technology is what's commonly used. Our schools has the oldest equipments and the cause so much trouble. Our boards go completely out and our laptops crash constantly. I would also like to see the safety concerns change. The elementary school near my house has a gate but doesn't wrap around the back. Kids run back there all the time with no supervision. Lastly, I would like more mental health help for students. So many students stress about school and grades that it affects their mental.

    Florence 1 Schools

    • School District
    • Florence, SC
    • 96 reviews

    Parent: I have had experiences with Greenwood Elementary, Southside Middle, and South Florence High, as well as, Woods Road Headstart, and have been genuinely pleased with all of them. The faculty and staff each of my children have had truly demonstrate commitment to, not just the success of my children, but my success as a single mother. We have had very few issues during our time at these schools (most issues have been typical children disagreements), but any issues I have brought to the attention of the school staff have been investigated, handled, and I have been advised of the outcome. I am beyond thankful for this amazing group of adults who are pouring into my children. I am exceptionally thankful for the growing emphasis on the arts, allowing my children to function, not just academically, but in the areas that they are truly passionate about, singing and music.
