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 have to say, all in all my experience at CB South has been good. I did have a hard time with social/emotional issues, but the teachers and staff have helped me tremendously with it. I am a senior and have noticed such a big change in myself from my 10th grade year. I used to be that kid hiding in the corner and now I am reading short stories to my English class. I love the lunch and learn that the school district has put in place. I have utilized the time, buy meeting with teachers if I need it or being able to connect with my classmates. I do wish school had more hands-on classes, not everyone is a great sit-and-listen kinda kid.

Most of the teachers were great but there were too many rules and they closed half of the bathrooms.

CB South is a great school with great teachers. The facilities are better than most area schools as the school opened in January 2005. The teachers took a vested interest in the students and want them to succeed. Guidance counselers are a great resource to learn about post-secondary school opportuni...

I graduated from here in 2009, and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Great teachers, classmates, and everything in-between.

I attend and graduated from South 3 years ago. Some of my greatest memories derive from my time in the high school. The bonds I made with my teachers and peers are still strong today. Its like the teachers can't forget your face or your name no matter when you graduated. As for my graduating class,...
