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.

Coming from this high school and straight to a PWI college opened my eyes to see how much this school is out of date and is behind in the education world

I love my school and the people in it. Without it and the people I'm surrounded by I wouldn't be the person I am today. They really have been there for me.

Denmark-Olar High School is a wonderful school. The staff is great and very humble. The students are willing to learn and improve with the help from their community. The school is very damage and is part of the South Carolina's Corridor of Shame. Despite the title, the students remain to work hard to improve their education.
