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.

Epic High School South has built a family based community. All the staff and students try their best to make school a fun learning environment. You can tell the principal, Dr.Mohan, truly cares for his students. He tires his best to build a relationship with them and their parents. However, some teachers lack the capabilities to teach. For example, some teachers hand out grades to students who do the bare minimum. That is a disgrace to their teachers credential's.
