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 am very grateful to have attended Blue Springs South High School. Like all schools there are some things that could be better, but overall Blue Springs South has a good environment and good resources.

The Blue Springs school district does a great job of preparing you for your future plans. They take the time to provide us with opportunities that other districts might not do. The staff is willing to work with you if you work with them and the activities while having some favoritism, they end up being a blast.
