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 have gone to this school for the past 7 years and I love it. I love that it is a smaller school because it allows you to create closer connections with your peers and teachers. That being said since it is a smaller school the academics aren't the best, there are very limited classes you can take and they aren't very challenging. However the overall environment of the school is so welcoming and overall I enjoy coming to school.

Overall positive experience. Currently as South High senior, you can clearly tell we have one of the highest rates of diversity in the North Dakota region. As well as pretty decent academic departments, as well as opportunities during and after high school. We've had some questionable teachers, but overall the staff are very accommodating.

It's the best school I've ever attended to. The teachers love me and everyone is not so rude like my other schools were cause I'm part black and white. At this school, everyone is treated the same and I don't get judged at all.
