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.

During my time in south shore it had its ups and downs, the teachers are so dedicated to helping students and others

Half of the teachers don't prepare you for college, the others try extremely too hard, the classes aren't very full feeling, and i have gone weeks at a time without having homework.
