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.

I am in SEHS doing full IB, and I wish there were more academic resources for upperclassmen. In addition, the workload is absolutely insane, I have very little free time and it makes me very frustrated. However the classes are adequately challenging and I have heard that full IB prepares you well for college.

this was a phenomenal high school, but the school has some problems with administration. Recently they have changed the schedule and thankfully I am not going there but it was a very poor choice and ended up wasting a lot of students time.

What I most enjoyed about South Eugene High School was the classes. I enjoyed learning the material. My least favorite part was the structure of many classes. Many of the classes had open-ended assignments that I struggled with because I need more structure. I also struggle to learn in a classroom environment.

Graduated from South with a pre-acceptance into a doctoral program after college. To say SEHS helped prepare me for college and post-grad would be an understatement. They excel in many areas. Lots of AP courses are offered, and I was able to easily enter college as a 'sophomore' in credits which rea...

My kids are SO BORED at South Eugene HS. The teachers do very little except talk, not even noticing that most of the kids have tuned them out. As a result, anything that my kids learn is done on their own, or with my help (or tutoring, since the math department is particularly bad). It is even worse...
