My children attend this HS. I can tell you first hand the school is great. Great athletics, high diversity (race, ethnicity, and income), and a new campus. For the area, it doesnt have the problems other schools in the area have (drugs, too many kids, etc). I have three kids enrolled here and we came from Texas. This is a good school, way better than Bishop England or Wando...hands down.
