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.

South Oldham has been an amazing school to attend high school. The school spirit is unmatched. South Oldham truly is one huge family. There is a teacher for everyone to talk to, that is similar to somebody in some way. There truly is nothing that I would complain about.

South Oldham has been a great experience for me through high school. I've had great teachers that make learning fun and you can tell they really care about the kids and love their job. My mom and dad also graduated from South Oldham 24 and 27 years ago. I think it's pretty cool I get to graduate from the same school as they did!
