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.

During my time at Madera South High, I've received a quality education that has laid a strong foundation for my future. In addition to my studies, I've been actively involved in various clubs that have enriched my high school experience and allowed me to develop different sets of skills and interests. The only experience that has negatively impacted my time there was a math teacher who constantly singled me out and made me feel less-than compared to my peers.

The teachers at Madera South held themselves to a very professional level despite the kids that attend this school. They were all very friendly, there were those teachers that made me feel safe and comfortable being at school. The lunch ladies were pretty nice too, sometimes had an attitude but that was fine. The sports here had some great coaches, wouldn't take them for granted.

Its alright, very nice school spirit and pride, but not a lot of motivation in the students, very big campus, welcoming, but not necessarily open to new people, havent had many bad experiences to be honest
