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 South Paulding has been pretty positive overall. The best part about this school, in my opinion, is the teachers and staff. They really make the learning experience amazing.

South provided me with a lot of opportunities to explore potential careers, and the healthcare pathway taught me a lot about narrowing down the field I wanted to study

Overall being enrolled into South paulding high school wasn't the greatest nor was it the worst. I do not believe that this school actually prepares students for college properly. I would like to change the atmosphere of the school, as well as how serious their take on truly learning.

It’s pretty average compared to homeschool, i’m not bullied, I try and do my work well, and I can say i’m a proud B C student. From all the courses I don’t ever learn anything useful and it’s difficult to learn with how bland the system is.

I had high hopes for this school but after my child attended I realize very quick that the school was not designed for minorities, even after being warned not to send my children here I didn’t listen and did it anyway but before this school ruined my child’s education we decided to move

This school has it's pro's and con's. It has improved in some ways. I think they should be more responsive.
