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.

It was alright. I don't have that many special moments I remember from the school but that may be because I didn't really participate in a lot of things.

I have a love-hate relationship with Southwest. One thing that makes them great is how much they care for the arts program compared to other schools. The staff are 50/50, same with the students. However, the school lacks the ability to share recent/current news to the staff and students at the school. This causes many people to be unaware of upcoming or ongoing events.

Southwest is wonderful. The math team usually beats the neighboring schools,(always beats Notre Dame) hands down. They also have a wonderful Academic Decathalon team (Ashw. HS doesn't have one). The Physics teacher at SW, has more kids pass the AP exam than anywhere else in the STATE !!
