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.

My experience at Myrtle Beach High School varied. I did have to experience online school through half of my Freshman year and all of my sophomore year. Therefore this will be based on my Junior and Senior years. The best thing about this school is the school culture. They did a great job at creating school spirit with various activities and events. The worst thing would be food and safety. The food was subpar and from my memory lacked many options. And there were many times I felt unsafe. What I want to change the most is the condition of the school. There was a time when I couldn't go to class because the hallway was flooded. Fixing the AC unit and the holes in the ceiling is a must.

The is great and has a lot to offer the student. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars has to do with the third lunch students never have time to make it through the line to be able to eat. My son has not had a lunch yet this year.
