I love the small classes and the fact that the teachers really know your child. I love the fact that we have dual enrollment. When my child enters college she will already be a sophomore.

Great supportive school - love the administration, staff, and faculty. Small classes and college courses beginning in 11th grade. But still a fun place!

Love this school, the teachers, and administration. Small classes where teachers can really get to know your kids. Dual enrollment will allow my children to start college as sophomores. Can't say enough wonderful things about Laurens Academy!

This school is great! My grand daughter started in pre school and will be in third grade this year. I have a grandson I hope to see there next year. The principle knows each child and to me that is important and amazing at the same time. My grand-daughter would not even consider going to another school. This school is rated a ten in our family.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
