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.

I really enjoyed how small the high school is. With it being so small it was easy to get to know all of my teachers and classmates.

The academics at South Spencer High School are pretty average and allow students to pick some classes that help them learn more about what they want to learn about and get a career in.

It was terrible. They constantly found issues with me. The students there were terrible and I ultimately had to transfer to an online public school because of all of the bullying.
