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.

Well my worst experience was in junior year were my mental health wasn't at a good state so I was doing good at all and it kept bringing me down in class, a change for that I would like it if the teachers, counsellors would worry a little more about mental health problems and how students are doing, feeling mentally, physically and emotionally. My best experience was having the best days of my senior year because I got to spend it with my small group of friends they made my senior year the best experience.

The best part about south hills will definitely be student council and the involvement students around campus . the worse parts about it are some of the administrators, the lack of communication between them and us the students. i would definitely change that also.
