Waccamaw High School

Unfortunately, the people who write reviews are often the disgruntled ones. . . . I am here to plug WHS. My daughter attended Waccamaw High for seven years as a Special Ed student. I have nothing but high regards for the school: the atmosphere is friendly, the teachers and students are caring, and the academic work is challenging from what I have observed from other students. For example, Furman University (a top tier university) accepts several students from WHS every year. Don't believe the negative comments. Cheers!

This school could use a good cleaning, especially the bathrooms. If a stall has a door there is a 75 percent chance there is not a lock on the door. The teachers must be taking the toilet paper and soap home because there is never any in the bathroom. Vaping is a problem IN the school. I judge restaurants and schools by their cleanliness. If people do not care about cleanliness they do not care about much. The coaches at this school seem to have too much control. Sports are emphasized over the coaches teaching ability in some cases.

This school is one of the worst schools. My daughter was attacked and bullied by two girls and no real disciplinary actions were taken. Principal Hammel said he would try to keep the girls away from my child. He took the girls out of her class he refused to bring charges on the 17 year old. Horrible horrible school.

I absolutely love this school. I am currently in the 11th grade at Waccamaw High School and find the administration and teachers to be extremely kind and willing to help. Waccamaw offers a wide variety of clubs and elective courses, as well as AP and honors level courses. Due to this variety, I have been able to take anything from piano to Spanish III honors to AP US history. Overall, I find my enrollment at Waccamaw to be very challenging, fun, and enjoyable experience.
