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 really enjoyed my time at South Central Calhoun High School. I always found that teachers are very positive and willing to give their time to help any student who needs it. In the hallways students always say hello to each other and the atmosphere of the school is positive. One challenge at SCC High School is the lack of diversity. Due to the small population of the school and community around it there is little diversity through out the district.

Administration does not listen to student opinion. Only 2 school board members have kids in the district. Teachers have no authority in classrooms so parents are always involved. District tries to offer safe places for students but they mostly get taken advantage of, then taken away.

Not only is SCC a good school academically, but the coaches excel in making our teams successful in the sports they play. This school also has a variety of activities for students to participate in.
