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 like it, it's a good school. The staff and people that work there are good overall and i feel very safe when i'm there. If i were to change one thing it would be maybe the food because it's not the best all the time.

SCHS has come a long way since Mr. Harwell took over. The moral has improved and kids actually care about coming now. Mr. Davis has done a great job with fixing attendance issues at the school.

My son is enrolled in this school and there is a lot of drama, cliques, and fights among the students. Very disappointed and thinking of making a long drive just to have him enrolled in a good school!
