GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I loved Blythewood especially the Biodiesel program. IT was the spark that lit my flame to pursue Biochemistry at Winthrop University. The teachers and admin. were very involved and helpful of what you needed to get you where you wanted for the future.
