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.

My overall experience with southside high school was pretty amazing. Time went by quick. I was always locked in on my work and never got anything lower than a low "c".

Participating in many clubs and sports you are able to see a different side of the school than what most people assume. You get to connect more with teachers, administration, students and other schools. I would love to see more involvement from students and parents when it comes to school spirit and clubs/activities.

Overall I had a very good experience at Southside and I never felt uncomfortable at my school. I enjoy learning and getting to know new things and I have never had a bad experience with any teach ever. My high school experience has not yet ended but so far it has treated me very well.
