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.

Spartanburg high school has had some of my best schooling experiences in terms of community and involvement. Like when I first found out about my brain tumor and the school raised the funding to help me with the treatments and transportation. I don't go a day without being grateful to everyone who supported me. Even now I am battling with it but they know and accommodate me in every way. What I think the school should improve on is more out of school activities and involvement just because the time we have with clubs is good but it could be extended out of school too.

Absolutely awful. They should recruit teachers and administrators who care about their students.

Yes, my school has won awards for "best high school" based upon test scores and administration statistics, but it is quite obvious that those awarding the accolades never visited the school. I have had teachers who were openly misogynistic and teachers who were openly hostile to students with disabi...
