Situated at the intersection of I-95 and I-20, Florence was originally founded as a railroad hub, later becoming the site where three major railroad lines met. Florence maintains its status as a hub to this day—for industry and infrastructure. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the city’s sense of historic charm, with well-preserved buildings, stately homes, and extensive museum exhibits paying homage to Florence’s rich heritage.

The Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center hosts a broad range of performances, from Broadway musicals to the Florence Symphony concerts. Florence is also home to the Florence Little Theatre, the War Between the States Museum, and Florence County Museum.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
