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 made many amazing memories and learned valuable life skills. Although it's not the fanciest school there is a great diversity of students that differ in life paths. The support the student body had for each other is something I will truly miss.

I liked how big it was. i also liked the staff; they really helped me get through the school year. a couple things i would like to see change is how little effort was put into preventing problems. also would like to see them handle problems more seriously and not be so lenient on students.

I loved how the teachers treat the students and the teacher to student ratio and the way its so easy to make new friends. Some thing I would change is something out of my control but instead of online I want to go back to school on campus.

South High is the worst school I as a parent have ever dealt with. No academic extra-curricular programs, and my daughter is constantly complaining of fist fights in the hallways.
