i believe Lugoff- Elgin deserves four and a half stars, but i can only put 4 or 5. the only reason i would not give them a five is the administration. they are trying, but not hard enough (with the exception of principle Gladden). I am Appalled by the first review, seriously. you wouldnt allow your

I am very disgusted by LE when i drove by the school from moving from New Jersey i was amazed. When i went to the district office to ask for the goals and test scores they were low and the drop out rate is the highest in Kershaw County School District. i think something should be done. the dress code

To be fair that school has its up and downs but, for a while according to the district office they have the Highest Test Scores in the district. I think the school is just better than le. the dress code is enforced. The teachers know what they are doing. But, This is just what my high standards get you. Read less

Our school is really pretty good. When I was a freshman I thought it was too restrictive, but now that I have been around other high schools, I realize why we are strict. Plus they have built a new gym and lots of new sports facilities. I really like going to LE.

As a parent of two LE graduates and being a graduate myself, I can say definitivly that LE is a great school, in a community that has seen alot of change. We used to be a very quiet, friendly country school, but now we a growing fast and the new residents have new expectations. Yes that are hard on

This school system does not teach writing skills and those skills will only deteroriate. The new SAT has writing and these students will be even less prepared for the new test. The students and parents have to worry about their computer getting 'accidentally' damaged and/or stolen all day long everyday. Our school board who approved this did not know what they were getting into and it is a failure already. Read less

Lugoff-Elgin High School is rated as one of the top schools in the state as far a test scores and curriculum, but where they have fallen short is in the area of dicipline.
