St. James High School

I said what I said in the 2 question, I could put the same statement for each question.

Have 4 kids that have gone through St James HS and by far the best choice we could of made for our kids. Principle is one the best and does what he can to make every student feel important. Attends as much extra curricular activities as he can. Teachers will do what it takes to help the students succeed after they leave the school. Sports programs are getting better each year. Best school system in Horry County from start to finish

Worst experience ever. Assistant principal told me my daughter didn't need college prep classes because she would never go.

Unless you are connected to the administration in some way, you had better steer clear of those who are. Unfortunately for the ones who are connected, they will go out into the real world completely unprepared. Life outside the "bubble of political protection" will be harsh. Teachers are kept in fear of doing what's right, by the iron hand of the district. Most teachers seem to have no passion. Just punching the clock until retirement. Emphasis is heavy on the sports teams, which are terrible. Sexual harassment is commonplace for the female students to experience. Sexual promiscuity is high, teenage pregnancy is common. Drug and alcohol use is overlooked, if the parents are in the right groups. Student body statistics are manipulated to give the appearance of excellence. If you are looking for the high school experience that you feel you child is entitled to... due to who you are and who you know... this is the place for you.
