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.

Bullying is really bad at South Milwaukee but the teachers are always there for the students when you need help.

Most of the staff are rude and don't really care about your child's success, unless your child is the "model" student. They say they don't believe in bullying, but then they d...
