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 like attending Orangeburg Wilkinson High School throughout all four years attending this school I have had good moments and bad moments. Freshman year was very nerve wrecking , but also exciting. Throughout each year I have grown as a person. Although my time at Orangeburg Wilkinson wasn't amazing it was still a great experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
