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.

If you keep to yourself and ignore everybody, i'd say you'll get through it just fine. School atmosphere isn't too nice, kids fight a lot but the educations pretty good if you pay attention and try.

The schools not exactly top of the line but it gets the job done I suppose. So long as you stay with good people, I think you'll be fine.

It was a good/bad experience I'm just glad I graduated so I won't have to be there anymore. The safety is not as strict as it needs to be. Teachers barely want to teach but I don't blame them. The FOOD is HORRIBLE the only good thing is the salad bar.

Colleton County High School is the worst school ever. We have terrible lunch and poor education rights. They would rather us out of school than in school. The uniform policy is the worst, its way too strict.
