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 at South Early has been a journey. I learned so many things and evolved into the young woman I am becoming. I had my ups and down there but I have many teachers who did help me with staying on track and guiding to the finish line to always finish the end goal. I created friends and family that has made my high school years fun and worth it. It wasn't always easy but when it did get hard I didn't give up and my village didn't let me either and so therefore I am grateful for south early hs and all the people there.

The school is something I've never experienced before, the teachers are kind but strict when need to be, and the people are open and kind and accepting. Over all the schools I've been to, this school is one that stands out them most

Of course at, South Early College High School, parents had to take a step back. South Early requires, the students to be an advocat...
