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 experience at Southside High School has been positive and uplifting. I'm surrounded by teachers and administrators who care about my success and well-being. We have clubs and sports that the student body participates in to help promote school spirit. While there is some lack of school spirit and student activity, the staff pushes involvement and has even helped me create my clubs, such as a student-led FCA.

The best part about Southside is playing sports and meeting people. If you don't get involved you are most likely going to be bored and not really like the school.

As a senior, I am glad I got to experience my high school journey with SHS. I grew close to my classmates and even upperclassmen. As well as growing close to the teachers and forming tight bonds with almost everyone I have come in contact with. During sport seasons, I have found myself in times of joy and also in classrooms I have found myself wanting to be educated more.
