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 really love going to Fort Mill High School and I feel like I do very well academically here. The people are great and I've made a lot of good friends.

Fort Mill High school is a great school filled with amazing teachers. One thing I would like to see change is the amount of diversity. There isn't much at all. I would also like to see some of the facilities change. Most of the school is very old and the classrooms don't feel nice.

I graduated from FMHS in 2011 and attended Fort Mill schools my whole life. The teachers, administrators, and students of FMHS foster a tradition of excellence that you can't find anywhere else. I'm currently a chemistry at Clemson majoring in chemistry and minoring in mathematics. I maintain a high...

I'm a parent of a child at the other HS in town. Knowing the administrators at FMHS and NFHS and how much competition there is among applicants to fill teaching and coaching positions at FMHS; I have to say FMHS seems to me like the greater of the two great high schools in Fort Mill as of 2013. They...
