Spartanburg High School excels in the higher level classes such as AP and Honors classes...I would put its top students against the top students at any other school, public or private, in SC. It has a very high minority population due to the way that district lines are drawn in the county, yet, it still produces the very best high achieving students. It should not, nor should any other school, be rated without taking into consideration the students who attend based on socio-economic levels. Close Quote
