Really nice school nice kids nice teachers and the school looks amazing inside and out.

This school was wonderful for both my children and the teachers were both excellent and willing to work to help my children achieve. I now have one in high school and one in college and both were well prepared with basics from the elementary schools and from their experience at Aynor Middle. I love the small student/teacher ratio and the care the entire faculty and staff show each student. It is obvious they want their students to succeed.
