I'm currently in eighth grade at this school and it's a great school. The teachers motivate me to learn and I look forward to coming to Daniel Island School each day. Five stars, but bullying awareness could be better.

We have had at least one child in this school for the past 14 years and have had a great experience for each of our three children.

This was once a fine institution. Generations of my family attended this school, but the administration is now lead by someone once known for her commitment to students, families, and God has lost her way. We are so disappointed to hear terrible stories of power struggles and the mistreatment of students, family members and tenured staff. In fact, 18+ teachers have left just this year. I hope our diocese can get this place back in order soon so that our families can feel confident sending their children here again.
