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.

Overall, Madera South High School is a unique and diverse academic field for students as well as the teachers. There are many fun activities that go on throughout the year and lots of clubs for the students as well. The only complaint I would have would be the math department. Many students have complained about certain math teachers not being able to teach well. However, overall it is a good school.
