Senior: Daniel High School is a great school. We have a very diverse population and are set in a college town. There are many activities to participate in including football, basketball, soccer, track, golf, swim, tennis, baseball, softball, cross country, student government, band, cheerleading, dance team, orchestra, theater, language clubs, etc. There is a way for everyone to get plugged in. We have very diverse course offerings, from dual credit to AP to CP to general education. Our county has a state of the art career center with many opportunities to help with college and work after high school.

Parent: My husband and I wanted an inclusive school that would be an extension of our family, and we found that in the Burgundy Community. We made the decision to send my son to Burgundy in JK and looking back now as he is in the midst of 2nd grade, choosing Burgundy was the best decision. Burgundy is a nurturing community that fosters the whole child, ensuring life long learners. Burgundy leans into a child's individual character and ensures every child is heard and has a voice. My son loves Burgundy and is thriving. I know without a doubt that Burgundy will lay the foundation for my son's continued success, not only in his future academic pursuits, but in life as a whole!... Read 10 reviews

Junior: Many teachers at Easley love their job, genuinely enjoy interacting and helping students, are passionate about the subject they teach, and are well-rounded. While some teachers are not as involved in the classroom, the majority of them are very good and make sure the students know the subject thoroughly before moving on. As for sports, our teams are not the best, but the school still supports them and many people go to the games. The art department is also large, with several art and music teachers, several bands, and a nationally ranked marching band. However, the guidance and administration are very hard to work with. They often promise to help with scholarships, testing, and other essentials, but then fail to deliver or deliver extremely late. The school may not be the cleanest, but this is also due to a lack of custodians. Overall, this is a very good school and I would recommend it despite the fact it has some problems....

Senior: I've had an overall amazing experience at Pickens High school with the environment of teachers and my peers. Pickens High School is as good as you make it, and it can be one of the best schools in the area if you take challenging classes, participate in school sports, and treat the teachers with respect. Pickens also has a unique culture unlike other schools, and one change I would like to see is for younger classes to respect this culture and participate more in things like spirit week and pep rallies....

Parent: I love everything about Templeton Academy! They are very supportive of my son's challenges and provide it when needed. The teachers are team players with the parents as well. The project based curriculum is awesome! It gives the students the chance to learn to work as a team and also use critical thinking skills. The class schedule is unique as well where the student will take 2 courses per semester for 10 weeks and still get all their required credits. Even though school is virtual right now, my son has met some friends. Oh and the class sizes are nice and small. Another thing I love about Templeton is how they praise the accomplishments of their students. My son is featured on their social media pages for winning 2 scholarships for being a philanthropist. I highly recommended Templeton Academy for a middle and high school choice. You won't be disappointed!... Read 28 reviews
