When we first moved down here about 12 yrs ago we gave the public schools in North Myrtle Beach a shot but ended up going the private school route after a couple of years. We found that the school work at the public schools just wasn't demanding enough. We also liked the smaller class sizes in the private schools. I know that it all depends on the teachers your kids end up with at the public schools because some are better than others and can make all the difference in the world. I've heard that many families are happy with the public schools in the Carolina Forest area as well as the Forestbrook school district. If we hadn't chosen the private school route we probably would have ended up moving to one of those school districts.
