My daughter is a 2020 graduate, and entered college very well prepared despite the Covid lockdown. Excellent teachers, lots of class options, great arts and athletics, and a lot of AP opportunities. We were very pleased with her experience.

My freshman year here was perfectly fine. Teachers were more willing to help students and seemed to care significantly about how well their students succeeded. Administration was understanding, nice, and helpful to the students. My sophomore year we got a new principal (Mr. Johns)and since then, every year, more and more new rules have been enforced and all administration cares about is our school ranking. I believe that most students would agree that as the years have gone by, this school has gone more downhill. Teachers, administration, and guidance seem to care less about the actual students and seem to care more about how everyone else views the school. Many teachers, faculty (especially in the main office), and admin seem to not enjoy their jobs and can come off as very rude. Our principal Mr. Johns was previously a middle school principal at Banks Trail Middle and he continues to treat the students as if this were also a middle school. For example, he has enforced many new rules such as not being allowed to eat outside, not being allowed to stand/walk around the commons during lunch, and if our phone is even visible(even if we are not using it) they can take it . Over all my high school experience here i feel has been ruined by the administration and faculty.

We are highly satisfied with our experience at Nation Ford. Our daughter is a rising senior and has created lasting friendships and wonderful memories at NAFO. From AP classes to student council and sporting events the time here has been everything we could hope for.

My family moved to this district per recommendations. I have found the teachers to be very supportive, helpful and genuinely caring. My daughter has an IEP and teachers have been great in helping her, offer more than enough times for her to come see them, communicate with me via email and more. The admin, however, seems only concerned about themselves. I’m not a fan. They really need to pay attention and listen to sudents and parents about those teachers and guidance staff who don’t step up. Why’re not listening and it’s hurting the students. Overall, however, I’ve been very pleased.

NAFO is a top school in SC, and Fort Mill is a great town. NAFO is well behind schools in the northeast in terms of class selection, technology, teacher knowledge, SAT/ACT scores, and other areas. Its a healthy and caring environment, but not a great education, despite the ranking in the state.
