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.

Being apart of the magnet program at south cobb high school had fundamentally altered my high school experience. There I was provided to hands on learning experiences and was offered more resources and opportunities than regular students. During my high school years I obtained a 4.2 GPA took 7 AP classes while also balancing playing 2 sports at SCHS. The teachers and administrators were extremely vital to my success. I would not have accomplished nearly as much through any other high school.

So far it has been a good high school experience. I like that some teachers help prepare students for college and get involved in the process. There are also many opportunities given by counselors. I would like some improvement with the cleanliness of the bathrooms, but other than that I have no complaints.

This school is making a really bad 1st impression thus far. I really hope the teachers are better than all the registration staff and front office personnel. They have registration only 3 days a week and even if you make an appointment online, you may very well end up being SOL when you show up. The...

My experience at this school has been amazing. My mom never thought i would attend this school due to the bad rep people put out about it and now she loves it. Yes we fall short sometimes but what high school doesn't ? The environment is something you would want to be apart of... EAGLE NATION!!!
