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.

Some of the the teachers acted like they didn't care about teaching and normally when a teacher does not care students tend to not care either, the bathrooms always had to be locked so if you took to long your locked in lol but you can still get out. They're also rats inside the school so you may see one run into your classroom. Also a lot of the kids may be very rude.The lunch is the normal Columbus city schools lunch, the school is also very big.

I like that there is a wide range of type of people that attend South High School. We have students from different countries, states, and cities. We also have a lot of different cultures that is represented in the school. With all the different types of students here, it offers an opportunity to learn about how others were raised, and how they live. The teachers are usually willing to go above and beyond to help us, but tend to get frustrated quickly due to the overfilled classrooms.

It's an alright school if you like ridiculous rules. Students are terrible, are very mischievous and take advantage of kind teachers. These students do not take education seriously. Low graduate rate. A few teachers are disrespectful for no reason. The school is pretty clean, I give them that. Somet...
