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.

My experience at south point is overall great. Most of my teachers were amazing and taught me a lot (with exceptions of course) and the counselors during my first three years were shockingly bad, even terrible at times, the new counselors seem to be much better. Despite these drawbacks it was mostly an amazing experience and I am great full for the opportunity to come to this school.
