Over the past several years, this school has definitely been moving in the wrong direction. Education of students, support of teachers, and improvement of the overall learning environment, have all taken a backseat to the pursuit of athletic achievement and the most current educational excellence theme of the year. Grades and class completion are subject to manipulation by administrators in order to artificially inflate graduation success.Teachers are passive, demoralized, and uninspired. Classroom management is nonexistent. Teachers teach from their desk and spend their time buried in their laptops. Students are frequently off task or asleep or on their phones. The school does not enforce the South Carolina Department of education’s cell phone, and personal electronic device policy.Administration is unresponsive and seems interested in only making the symptoms of problems go away rather than solving the problems themselves. Communication is terrible. There is zero transparency in the decision-making process. All decisions are made at the top, there is no distribution of authority, and teachers are not empowered to make decisions. Vandalism, disrespect and student fights are a regular occurrence on campus. Discipline is terrible. As a teacher, I would never recommend a parent send their child to this school.

The first year I have zero complaints. During the pandemic they ran way better then any other school I knew. However, first grade. My daughter was bullied continuously by another boy in her class. I was never notified when she was injured and instead had to find out from her that night. She never saw a school nurse and he was able to be care free about it. This boy proudly admitted to it. He needs counseling from the trauma he went through and now my daughter will need it thanks to her school not addressing it accordingly. Also, 4 grown women interrogated my daughter with back to back questions while I had no idea and was waiting for her in the pick up line. I would have been the one that said yea send your kids here. But now I would recommend to never even think of this school. I transferred my daughter out of that place. It’s so heartbreaking but when your daughter is begging to not go back because she doesn’t feel safe, you listen.

I’ve been getting calls about my brother having issues with a teacher and when i tried to call they transferred me over to the 8th grade principal but i never got a call back. I called because one of the teachers there thinks it’s okay to target once certain group of children. She told me brother that he is now in jail, i have no clue what that means but sounds very disturbing that a teacher feels this way about one of her students.
