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.

Great staff for the most part, many of my teachers are more than happy to be flexible and provide assistance throughout the year - very friendly and kind, especially if you reciprocate it. Student body enjoys organizing various events year round and there's a plethora of clubs and activities open for all types of people.

I enjoyed the staff and the incredible friends I made. The classes were rigorous but they well prepared me for college. I felt safe at school and unfortunately not every student in our nation can say that. The class sizes were very reasonable and I felt like I was a student and not just a number. I am glad I met all the wonderful people I did who I will take with me as I move forward to the next step in my life.

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 !!
