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've enjoyed my four years at South Florence and I hope others do as well. The teachers and administrators are the light of the school! My only con is the lack of diverse extracurricular.

My experience at South Florence High School is just like any other high school student , I didn't have any best or worst experiences at school.

My experience over the past 3 and a half years with South Florence has definitely been interesting. The worst thing about the school is the guidance counselors. I have had a new one every year and some how they all get my schedules wrong or don't send in class requests in time for me to get in. The best thing is probably the clubs and sports activities. I am in 8 clubs and they all do so much for the community. I love going to football and baseball games. We have so much fun. I wish the school would change the quality of food they serve. Some days it looks like prison food.
