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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

i've gone there for 4 years and nothing has ever really changed i mean there's mold in ceilings and mice in teachers desk and i've been learning basically the same things since freshman year. The honors classes here are the exact same as the regular classes just with 3 points added on to your grade at the end of.

South side is a great school in Madison county to attend to. Only thing I do not really like is how biased they are to certain students. They can provide great education for your child

Went there all 4 years and I really enjoyed it. Always a great place and amazing teachers. Great basketball team and always something fun to do! Would definitely recommend to incoming students.
I attented 2 high schools between 2011-2015, Chester County and South Side and this school was horrible compared to CCHS. some of the teachers really care about their students learning, but the administration, RIDICULOUS.
