Read what parents are saying about Nation Ford High SchoolMy 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.
Posted by a parent on 1/12/2022My 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.
Posted by a student on 5/18/2018We 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.
Posted by a parent on 5/6/2018My 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.
Posted by a parent on 2/23/2018NAFO 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.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe just moved to Fort Mill, SC from Matthews, NC so, this is my child's first year here. So far he loves the school and his teacher. One thing I didn't like was how the curriculum night was set up. Apparently, this year it was different from previous years. I was hoping to get to speak to his teacher about what they are doing in class, how they will be tested, etc. but, instead, they sent us on a actual scavenger hunt where we had to find clues that would lead us to the next classroom. I wasn't fond of that all. Today, I will attend my first PTO meeting so, we will see how that goes.Parent Review4y ago - South Charlotte Baptist Academy

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI find the diversity the best (in the private sector ) in the county. Nevertheless, the tuition continues to in- crease with classroom sizes as large as public schools. The reason for the huge sacrifice for private schooling, (for most of us) is for your child to have a one on one opportunity with the teacher. That WILL NOT happen. It's ridiculous the amount of work given to these students with very little guidance. Most of the responsibility lies with the parents. We pay them to teach. But teachers in private schools aren't paid as they should, just as in the public schools. Therefore, the children suffer. The teachers "want" to be hard core, which is fine to a certain extent. But if you have 15-18+ students in a class, teacher balancing more than 2 jobs to make ends meet, Renweb/CANVAS doesn't work properly, and the grades appear to be Fs because the system doesn't work, etc. You can't afford to walk around like a prison guard with a whip you need to help these children and parents who are making a huge sacrifice and idea of a better choice than what's going on in the public schools.Other Review1mo ago - Sugar Creek Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would definitely recommend this school, my son is in kindergarten, Amazing teachers Ms Wekall and Mrs Ellis. if I ask an update of my son. They patiently listen to all my questions and answers them clearly. My son loves his teachers, if he is sick and when we take a break for school he misses his teachers and classmates so badly.Parent Review2y ago
