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 experience at South Lake in the past four years has been amazing. The school has many rules in place for the student's safety. The best part of my experience is the teachers and facilities staff who push me to my fulfill potential to succeed. Many teachers and the wonderful people in the front office are there for the students who are struggling at the school. The worst part of my experience is the negativity in the student body. The student body can be very negative which leads to the outbreak of fights among them. I would like to see a change in the restroom at the school because the restroom stalls are old and some of them can not properly closed.

I had a good experience at this school. One of the best parts I can say is the how dedicated the faculty and staff are to the students. Any issues or questions I had, my counselor and principal helped. I also liked how South Lake had a variety of sports and clubs students can join. I think one thing i found bad about the school was the classes were overcrowded, especially during covid. One thing that could change is maybe reducing class sizes and increasing access to mental health resources.

I have attended South Lake HS since my freshman year, and I am now a senior. Going through my years at South Lake, I personally never had any problems, my teachers were good, and all of the resources were good. I also played sports through my years which I feel helped high school go better.

From a senior students POV: freshman year was good (covid year) but years following have been a downwards spiral. For the first 3 years of my time at this facility the boys bathrooms had no soap. New ridiculous policies such as the 10 10 rule (may not use the bathroom during the first or last 10 min...

I wish I could give no stars. Seriously this school has the most people that are the rudest ones. Like if you don’t want to work at the school then don’t.

We're selling our house and moving just to be zoned to a better school. Too many fights, too much drug activity, and academics are a total joke. I subbed at this school just to get a feel for the campus, and there is no way I would ever work for this administration or let my child attend this campus...
