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.

The best part about going to South High School is that they have a lot of diversity in the student population. They have all kinds of different kids whether they be from different backgrounds or countries. The thing that I would say that is the worst part about south is the athletics. They have a lot of sports programs and it is fun to be a part of the teams but the teams as a whole isn't the best at the sports.

South High School has a really bad reputation but out of all the schools in my district I wouldn't want to go to any other school.

Although there's been ups and downs throughout the 4 years I've attended South High, overall the experience was great. I've made many connections with teachers, and they've strived to help me when I needed it. I will greatly miss some of my teachers, as you can tell they really love their job. South High has done a great job at not only teaching me academically, but providing life lessons along the way.
