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.

My best experience at Southern University laboratory school was our prep rallies. It brought our students together in harmony and brought us joy and laughter. My worst experience here was possibly with the students and the disorganization of our facility. We do not have many opportunities besides sports, which I would love if they provided that for others.

I attended Southern University Laboratory School from Fall of 2005 to Spring of 2019. As a pre-k - 12 attendee I developed virtually all my skills at my tenure at this school and I currently am now enrolled at Southern University as a college student. This education system has molded me into the man I am today, and I am forever grateful.
