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.

This school has really set me up for college and made things easier going into my degree. I had worried about being fully ready for college but with all the help and resources I have been doing okay in college. The community of people were good but I wish there was more opportunities to get involved.

Papillion LaVista South is a great high school. The teachers overall are very nice and engaging, but with how big it is it's hard to feel connected. The clubs are limited but good for resumes. I always felt very safe going to school there. They also have good academy's to help students get engaged in their future careers.
