(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is the best school in Kershaw county. Every teacher goes above and beyond to teach our children. They have programs and extra activities like keyboards, strings, scouts, and more.
My child has enjoyed and excelled in every grade from K-3 and hopes to enjoy 4th and 5th at Blaney.
