GreatSchools Rating
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.

Updated bldg., facilities and technology. The counselors are very involved, but, by design, less parent involvement in Middle School.

This rating for this school makes no sense. South rates at or well above the state average for practically everything including low income and ethnicity. I dont believe the rating is accurate at all. Seen other schools rated higher who had worse stats.
