I got to see firsthand what this is all about. In reality this is a daycare center that offers after school bus service. They have a lot of kids enrolled! They also have a small private bus fleet. I also saw a terrific looking playground. They also offer educational services, field trips, and homework assistance. I liked and approved everything that I saw and heard about Eagle Academy!

My sorority sister and I both won leadership scholarships to Converse back when it was known as "Converse College." Her parents were kind enough to drive us up to Converse to tour the campus. It really is a pretty campus, albeit small. We spent at least one night in a dated but clean dorm type room. We enjoyed a short walk to a pizza/beer place for some dinner. On the way, we noticed that all we were seeing were females. Hmmmmm. Come to find out, this was a female only college at the time. We both went, "What?!?!?!" Talking to some locals, we did learn a male only college was a short distance away, maybe a couple of miles. Still, this was a hard pass for both of us. Now, Converse is co-ed and has been since 2021.

There are five separate first grade classes here. My middle grandson is a straight A student and he earned the following awards this morning. He received third nine weeks honor roll, third nine weeks perfect attendance, fourth nine weeks Principal's Honor Roll, and fourth nine weeks perfect attendance. He's one of those kids who likes school and achievements come easy for him. My wife and I are so very proud of him and we wouldn't miss seeing him get rewarded publicly for all the tea in China! Kudos to the Principal and teachers at Chesnee Elementary School. They have a great educational program going on here!

I had a required visit here today. Some relatives on my wife's side of the family were having trouble showing proof of residency allowing their child to attend school here next year. They had already tried every avenue to get their child enrolled at this very fine school for the upcoming year. They live on a 42 acre tract of property that I have a life interest in. Their utilities were in different names : that would have been adequate proof of residency in itself. My daughter came with us as she's an expert at cutting red tape in school situations. She knew the principal at this school casually. After some chit chat they came upon a workable solution. We all signed an affidavit stating that I was the property holder and that they lived onsite. My daughter actually attended school here in the sixth grade. Needless to say I was impressed with the efforts of my daughter and the school principal. It was actually interesting to see them work together in finding a solution to the problem. I was impressed with the principal at this school and it goes without saying I'm impressed with my highly educated daughter. Northwest Elementary School is still not at capacity stage yet but may be soon as several hundred family homes have been built nearby recently. At the moment you can rest assured that your child will receive a great education here.

The ugly truth is that College Scorecard.gov online reports that only 12% of SMC graduates are…read more"making progress" repaying their loans. 12 out of every 100. SMC reports that 93% of BA graduates are "employed or in grad school within 6 months of graduation." This seems very misleading. Employment could easily mean the same part-time job students had prior to graduating. Many SMC students are already working while in school. SMC is likely not make any guarantees at all about full-time, well-compensated employment. It seems impossible, therefore, to tell just how many SMC graduates are underemployed, if they can even locate a full-time job at all. Two top employers of SMC students in the past few years (per LinkedIn) appear to be Walmart and the US Army, neither of which require a college degree. Please do not fall for the allure of college athletics at SMC either, as there is high turnover among college coaches. Every May or June, SMC seems to hire 5 or more new coaches due to yearly resignations. It's possible your child may have multiple different coaches no matter the sport if they remain at SMC for 4 years. More than 60 faculty/staff/coaches have resigned in the past 7 years. Area safety is also a concern. Google "shootings, West Spartanburg" (where SMC is located) and you'll read page after page of new stories. 3 campus lockdowns during the past 2 school years and a campus safety officer shooting death last year on campus on January 1st (the 2nd in a 10-year span of time). SMC has still not reported the campus security officer shooter's name or released officer camera footage from cameras the school sought for officers following the 2015 shooting death on campus. Roughly 56% of SMC students are students of color last year. The current president and a cabinet of 10 senior leaders who "serve at the pleasure of the president" appear to be 100% Caucasian. How can this be in 2025? Folks outside of South Carolina may have their own guesses that differ from those on site. Who profits from only 12% of graduates "making progress" repaying their loans with two years of starting repayment? Overwhelmingly, the presidential cabinet members, many of whom live in nice houses at a significant distance from campus, of course, and especially the college president (who earns more $$ than Spartanburg County Sheriff, Spartanburg City Manager, and the Chief of Police per year -- see Propublica). SMC's mantra seems very much to be "be nice to the students and pass them so long as they turn in any of their work (because tuition money is needed for us to get paid, y'all)." The college invests its money heavily in social positions on campus rather than highly accomplished professors. Professors' credentials appear purposefully omitted from SMC's website. One theory is that some of them are not as qualified as those teaching at the much cheaper Spartanburg Community College or private high schools. Altogether, don't fall for the gift of (sales) gab or the professional development pitch. Now that Limestone University has closed, SMC appears to have the lowest debt repayment "making progress" percentage for students among all colleges or universities in South Carolina north of Columbia (check for yourself at CollegeScorecard.gov). Altogether, SMC seems one letter shy and a shuffle from SCAM. Published data suggests this college experience may leave you sunk in student loan debt for a lifetime.
