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 Saluda High School is overall rewarding and good. The only bad thing about this school is that it's in a very small town and word gets around fast. The soccer program doesn't get much attention so the sport isn't much funded. We have old jerseys that are very dirty.

The faculty and staff at Saluda High help foster a learning environment where all students are valued. The students are very respectful of each other and their teachers. There are challenges as can be found in any school, but it truly is a place where there is a school "family" and this can be felt...
