Read what parents are saying about Briggs Elementary SchoolThe school could be worse. There seem like a lot of programs are intended more for the show of it rather than helping students.
Posted by a parent on 8/1/2019At Briggs they use Google Classroom and Leader in Me. Farm to School as a related art class with chickens and raised beds growing vegetables and fruit. The kids run the composting. Briggs is fully staffed with excellent teachers, special education teachers, speech therapists and occupational therapists that know the children. It’s a great school all around!
Posted by a parent on 6/7/2019Briggs has been a blessing to my children. They have been allowed to flourish and find their talents. Even the youngest of children have found their leadership roles here. Some of the best teachers and administrators around work at Briggs!
Posted by a parent on 6/7/2019Briggs is one of the oldest, but one of the BEST schools in Florence. I have been so impressed with the Leader in Me program and how they are teaching our children to become the successful leaders of their generation. The administration and staff are wonderful and I have seen them go above and beyond for these kids. I volunteer at this school every week and I am always welcomed with a smile. It’s not just a job for these teachers; they take care of these kids. We are all one big Briggs Family!
Posted by a parent on 6/7/2019AWESOME!!!! My son transferred to Briggs his sixth grade year. He was welcomed by students and teachers. He was given many opportunities to participate within the school day that allowed him to grow as an individual. I always felt welcomed by the teachers as well as the staff members. The principal and assistant principal were always available and made sure the students were given every opportunity to excel. Briggs is a "Leader In Me" School which helps create well-rounded learners by developing the whole-person and preparing students to become life-ready leaders. Students are given responsibilities and opportunities in every aspect of the school day. Morning show, classroom jobs, school wide jobs, even afternoon announcements were made by the students. The students were given more ownership of the school. My child stated on many occasions how much he loved being apart of Briggs Elementary even if it was only for one year.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis webpage for McLaurin is unfortunately out-dated. This school is wonderful and my children have been going there for 4yrs. McLaurin is a public MONTESSORI school that is a BSRE (Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence) LIGHTHOUSE SCHOOL. It is quite an achievement to get that prestigious honor. The school teaches grades 3K-5, has 900+ students, multiple playgrounds, an outdoor community garden to teach about growing plants & vegetables and healthy eating, every child (from 5K+) has their own Chromebook to work on & bring home at night, and the Montessori education model is hands down, THE BEST. Every time I visit my children's classrooms, I am blown away by the lessons and approach to teaching. I WISH I was taught this way when I was in school. All the teachers have smiles on their faces, the office staff is always helpful, the principal and vice principals who work so hard are just as helpful and caring to the parents as they are to the kids. My kids are getting an amazing education here and I would recommend this school to anyone moving to Florence, SC!Parent Review2y ago - Center Day School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is an amazing school. The principal really changed the school around. St. Anthony's is perfect for your child, there are so many opportunities at the school including, band, chorus, plays, and sports. The nice thing abt the sports is that, (since it is a small school) you can try out for whatever you would like, and see what you enjoy! St. Anthonys is also AMAZING academically, giving the students not too much or too less homework, but also making sure the homework is related to what they are learning about. The students at St. Anthony are extremely kind and sweet and non-judgemental. Would definetly recommend St Anthonys to your child!!Student Review1y ago - All Saints' Episcopal Day School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe best school in the state. The kids have great teachers all with master degrees. They get to take part in lots of neat experiences and trips. There facilities are extremely safe and top of the line. It’s a true blessing for any child who has the privilege attending here. I haven’t attended or seen another elementary school come close to comparing to the excellence of All Saints. State of the Art and Top of the Line!Parent Review8mo ago
