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 really enjoyed my time at Southern Alamance High school. It was some of the best times of my life. When I was there I won a state championship with the softball team. This was an amazing experience. The academics was good and they offered a lot of different methods for you to get help if needed. I only ever had an issue with one of the teachers. They were understanding when my grandma got sick and I had to miss class.

For the most part the teachers were reliable and all around helpful. Best part of my experience was extracurricular on the football team. However it was not a culturally diverse environment.

This school is horribly overcrowded and has cut many electives (e.g., drama). The counselor with whom we worked was fantastic, but he couldn't make up for the overall dismal environment. Some of the teachers were wonderful--very excited and engaged, but others were only marking time.
