RANKING

Lowcountry Preparatory School is in compliance with the South Carolina Uniform Grading Policy We support the belief that class rank is not a true measure of performance and fails to meaningfully distinguish students of a small class size in a highly competitive academic environment where there is significant compression Our class size is under 20, therefore rank is not used for the purposes of college applications We respectfully request college admissions to review our stringent curriculum and high rate of AP enrollment as indicative of our deep talent pool
