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.

Overall I think that South Plantation is a good school if you involve yourself in the Magnet Program, and take AICE and AP classes. If you are not in any of these programs then your experience will not be as good as it could be.

Overall, I have enjoyed my time at South Plantation High School. I am involved within the AICE program as well as the DECA program, which are great ways to be involved and raise your academic rigor. I think it's the experience you make out of the school that determines what you get out of it.

South Plantation High School. The atmosphere of the school is fairly positive, with plenty of smiling students around. The facilities seem well maintained, and the campus appears to be quite spacious. There's a mix of older buildings and newer ones on the grounds, which creates a nice aesthetic. Overall, it seems like a pretty nice place for students to learn and grow.
