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.

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.

Solid high school experience. The classes are okay. Not a huge selection as far as rigor. Some of the teachers are great, others are a little worse. The administration doesn't do a good job at listening to the student body. Confederate flag kids run rampant. The sports are okay unless you want to play football in which case we suck. At least Dunkin' Donuts is only 3 miles away.

South Jefferson school has been the greatest years of my life here at home. I've had my fair share of friends and the teachers are very supportive. The teachers want you to be successful.

South Jeff is pretty basic. It doesn't offer a lot for kids tending to go the college route, but for children who tend to struggle with academics they do a great job providing options for those students. I would like to see them expand their horizons and offerer more to challenge their students. Sports are good and extracurriculars are pretty good. Teachers are fine.
