Lewis High

Wateree River High School, located on State Farm Road in Rembert, South Carolina, is a unique educational institution operating under the jurisdiction of the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice (SCDJJ). As an alternative school setting, its primary mission is to provide academic instruction, credit recovery, and vocational training to youth who are currently involved with the juvenile justice system. The school is designed to ensure that students continue their educational progress despite their residential status, focusing on meeting state curriculum standards while fostering a structured, rehabilitative environment.

The school’s curriculum is tailored to meet the diverse needs of its student population, emphasizing core academic subjects such as English, mathematics, science, and social studies, often through individualized instruction. Beyond traditional academics, Wateree River High frequently integrates behavioral support and life-skills training to help prepare students for a successful transition back into their home communities or traditional school districts. By providing this continuity of education, the institution aims to mitigate the disruption to students' schooling and provide them with the necessary credentials—such as high school diplomas or GED preparation—to improve their future employment and collegiate prospects.
