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.

south view is very good. they have good teachers and amazing learning facilities. All the students love it here. They need to improve a little bit on the food but overall it's not plastic. The students love all the fun activities that South view offers. The remodel made South view a lot better and the kids love going to the flex space.

I go to South View Middle School. And they foster Safety, Learning, and Respect as their core-values. It is Safety, Learning, and Respect, everyday in every way! Dr. Anderson, the principal is nice and stands for no bullying. High recommend.
