My daughter has been going to this school for two years and we have absolutely loved her experience…read morethere as far as the teachers and staff. However, the lady at lower school that directs traffic in the morning has a disgusting attitude for whatever reason and has been mocking me for walking my daughter in and this morning even stared me down as I was leaving. I would greatly appreciate if someone addressed her as she isn't doing a good job of matching the loving environment and energy that school represents.

Both my husband and I grew up in public schools and choosing Hammond was a big decision and investment for our family. I regularly ask my kids if they are glad to be at Hammond and the answer is always a resounding, "Yes!". Hammond provides my children with an opportunity to be challenged, to grow in their passions, to experience new opportunities, to excel in becoming a well rounded individual that has a healthy respect for academic, athletic and cultural excellence. We have seen much growth and change at Hammond in our 13 years with technology, new facilities on campus, curriculum as it is an environment that knows to excel you can never stop learning and being open to change. Helen Kiser joined the Hammond family this past summer as LS Head and has already won the respect as well as the hearts of students, faculty and families. I know that with her passion for children and positive nature our LS will continue to amaze and engage our students to do great things and more importantly become kind and generous citizens. I have said to many parents that ask about our US, the guidance and dedicated partnership your family receives from the College Counseling Department in 9th-12th grade is well worth the investment of tuition. If you are looking for a positive, challenging and well rounded environment for your children, I hope you will visit Hammond. It was the best decision our family has ever made and we have three kids that agree.

Chapin SC the high school you can't miss on way in to Chapin…read more I haven't set foot inside the school but viewing the outside signage and sports facilities this school is better off than most. First off the track is separate from the football field which is not common unless there is funding. I can't see the football field from my vantage point but the track and tennis courts are blue! Apparently the cheer team wins state every year because there is signage to say as much along the road. It says Palmetto's Finest school in lettering along the gym exterior so this must be good? I have encountered some of the high school students around the community and they are mostly polite but don't know the inner workings. Would say not five stars because the high school could have nicer amenities for as much money as city if Chapin has.

As a parent of a son with dyslexia and dysgraphia, I can say that this school is a true blessing…read more It has not only provided instruction that has allowed my son to become a reader, but the teachers have also completely changed his attitude toward school and confidence in his ability to learn. There are not enough words or stars for me to give Sandhills in order to show my full appreciation.

The teachers and administrators use a strength based approach to unwrap the gifts in our kids. Every time I heard from a teacher, or my son reported back from school, the positive was emphasized. I appreciate that Sandhills lets our kids shine. It is an awesome place!
