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.

Attending Swansboro High School was an experience that shaped me in way I will carry forever. From strong community to the dedication of the teachers, Swansboro's student support is evident. Highlights for me included school spirit events, engaging extracurriculars, and lifelong friendships. Though like any high school, it had its challenges from here to there.

Swansboro High School is located in a small town near the coast of NC. The area has recently seen an uptick in diversity in the student body but not the staff. The school has a couple of good athletic teams

I really enjoy a lot of aspects of this school and the student to teacher connection is amazing in my opinion. I'm part of the band and it's the best experience I've had in high school and I've loved every minute of it. I would like to see the school lunches or the refresh times changed if I could change any part.

The administration doesn’t change anything, even if parents team up and address issues. It’s treated as if they provide lip service and continue to do whatever they want.
