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.

While I have gone to South Side, there has always been a focus on sports rather than the music programs. I feel like they should both be treated the same in regard to funding. Over the years school spirit had gone down and I feel like it stems from not having as many activities to choose from.

I would say that my high school career at Southside has been largely positive with a productive learning environment, one-on-one faculty/student aid, and a variety of competitive academic and traditional sports. I would say that the worst part about my school is the decreasing class size, with my current class at just over 60 students.
