GALEN Plan in Hunter's Branch by D.R. Horton
Hopkins, SC 29061

I would like to share my perspective on Southeast, where my child has been for three years now. He transferred here at the end of 6th grade after leaving a Magnet Program that didn't work out, and I was initially skeptical. However, the transition was smooth due to his familiarity with some students from elementary school.Mr. Myers and Dr. Williams handled any minor issues with great care, ensuring we were informed and that situations were addressed appropriately.I feel that Mr. Myers is fair and always present. With the school having mostly male students, I believe the staff is appropriate. Ms. Turnipseed in the front office is always warm and welcoming, and the security is attentive. The exterior of the school is well-kept, which adds to the overall atmosphere. Ms. Reese is a very caring teacher who genuinely cares about her students. I think the staff is fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishments. My child has been thriving since he transferred, and any lack of grades can be attributed to him—he has the resources available if needed. While I wish there were more extracurricular activities like fundraisers and field trips, car washes etc.. things to get the community more involved. I understand resources may be limited in a rural area. Overall, the school offers valuable in-school clubs and a positive environment.

This school is horrible! My children have been bullied and assaulted numerous times! Teachers do NOTHING! I needed tutoring for my child and it took 5 months to get anything. Teachers threaten to “snatch kids up” and tell them “I don’t care if y’all come or not, I’ll still get paid”. I’m getting the state board involved. Many police reports have been filed and yet they still fail to protect our kids!

Daughter graduated and spent her high school journey here. Great school.
