We moved from out of state where the previous school we were at, my son was being bullied. This made us all apprehensive to starting a new school..However, I couldn't say MORE POSITIVE things a out Drayton Hall! My kids love it, the teachers are amazing about communicating and I love the community! I feel safe knowing there's an officer and he greets the families every morning!

We had a series of terrible experiences with negligent faculty at the school. The final situation included our child running nearly a 103 fever, completely lethargic and needing to contact us to go home, and MULTIPLE staff members denying him his right to contact us, HIS PARENTS, to go home. Instead they dismissed him and his brother's requests and made him finish the remaining 5+ hours of school, just for us to find out about it when picking them up from school. When confronting Vice Principal Anderson about it, just a serious of LIES & EXCUSES, No Ownership was taken. We Immediately removed our children from his school as our children did not feel safe!

The student transferred to Drayton Hall for grade 5. Like most she was a little apprehensive about changing schools. After just a few weeks into the school year, she LOVES IT! Thank you to the faculty, staff, and administration for making her transition seamless.

10 out of 10. Drayton Hall excels in many ways. These teachers go above and beyond for their students. Our little girl is in 3rd grade and she has been going to Drayton Hall since Pre K. Several of her teachers go to her birthday parties! They care about their students and communicate well with the parents.

We are moving to Greenville and I hope I find a school like this there. I was shocked to see the rating of this school. Our little girl is in 3rd grade and there's no way we could have had better teachers than she's had at Drayton Hall.

The teachers are excellent and well educated. The administrative staff is just as knowledgeable, supportive, and caring. I am grateful for this school and I would choose this school over any other elementary school in the Charleston County School District.
