all schools in the area are now on the uniform program. even the high schools. laurel bay schools parris island as well. they bus them over. There are 2 k thru 2nd schools on base (you go to the one depending on your address) & one 3rd thru 8th. The schools on base are amazing w/a few exceptions of a few staff/teachers. it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s hit or miss w/the assignment of teachers. the pto is non existant. the after school programs/clubs are non existant as well. The air conditioning in the school is unacceptable yet they never fix it. the lunch served is barely consumed by the students?¢‚Ǩ¬¶.it not edible. absolutely gross. they offer spanish to kindergarten & 1st grade only (funding). The high school out in town, battery creek, is a ceespool of criminals, underachievers & low expectations. more students ?¢‚Ǩ?ìgraduate?¢‚Ǩ¬ù w/ a certificate of ?¢‚Ǩ?ìthanks for coming?¢‚Ǩ¬ù (meaning they didnt pass but you did attend) as opposed to a hs degree. be weary! do your research for schoo ls out in town.
