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 South Hadley has been good to me, Teachers are great and are almost always willing to guide the student through obstacles. South Hadley is a safe place to grow and to figure out who you are as a human being.

Going to South Hadley was an amazing experience for me. I transferred there after going to a school that was very focused on academics only and a school like south Hadley allowed me to excel in many areas. As a student interested in the arts I would say that is their biggest fault. There is a lack of funding for the arts, but the faculty and parents associated with that department do a lot to keep it running and enjoyable for students.
