Dutch Fork High School

We have been living in this school district for many years. Before we first moved here I had searched the Columbia area schools for where we should live, so that we would be well-situated when our kids started school (at the time we had a toddler and a baby). We chose Lexington-Richland Five, but more specifically an area zoned for Dutch Fork High School because of it's excellent reputation. We have not been disappointed. My oldest is getting ready to graduate from Dutch Fork High school and we couldn't be happier with the school and the programs; especially the music program. The band program is top-rated and I'm so glad our kids have participated and benefited from such an exceptional program and school.

STEM program at this school is the best to make students ready for college. Overall great school as well.

Dutch Fork is a great school that offers many AP courses, electives, and extracurricular activities. Students have many options in courses, allowing them to develop their interests. Students are able to take specialized technical courses off-site which offers courses in fields such as Vet Science and Renewable Energy.

US News and World Report ranked this school #3 in the state this year (top traditional public high school)...so I am fairly baffled as to why great schools would give it a "6"! US News rankings are considered highly credible. Excellent, excellent school!
