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.

The best part of South Atlanta is the connections and networks that you can make throughout your time there. The worst parts would be the violent atmosphere and lack of discipline.

South Atlanta is a great school. They don't accept failure. The words "I Can't" can't be heard here. They will never allow you to give up. The lunch may not be so great but they try. Overall it's a great school that won't let you fail.

Despite the fact that South Atlanta High School has faculty and staff who shows favoritism to select students, it's a great place to learn new things, meet new people, and have fun.
