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 teacher really cared about the students. A main issue was attendance from students and violence from students. Teachers tried their best to provide a safe welcoming environment.

I really like how South Park is really Oprah to actives and many opportunities for kids can get involved in the school. One they I would change is to have more school dances because there is not many and kids always talk about how they wish there was more.

I attended from 1958 to 1962, when South Park had around 3,000 students. We had a terrible football team (4 victories in 4 years), but great school spirit and dedicated teachers.
