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.

I have many different problems with this school. This school has rules that are just extremely strict for no reason. For example this school has a no hoodie rule what does hoodies even have to do with our learning and the pants dresscode is even worse why cant we just wear any pant we want. Like you get absolutely no freedom here.

I enjoy being a student at south tech academy. I have been enrolled here since freshman year and havnt thought negatively. Although there could be a few sports teams added.

South Tech Academy provided me with many opportunities, I was in the I.T. Academy and obtained many certifications to jump-start my career. In addition, it has a robust Automotive division, with great teachers and chances to learn and grow. The only downside is a lack of many sports, which causes the school spirit to seem a little lacking compared to other schools.
