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.

The best part of my experience at South Medford High school has been in the arts program. I've been in the marching band the past 4 years and it has been the best community I have been apart off with welcoming students.

I went to South for my entire high school career. Most of the teachers are very helpful, the spirit is very high, and there's something for everyone!

Overall, South Medford High School provides an opportunity for many students to succeed if they apply themselves. Unfortunately, they removed the "college and careers" class from the curriculum and students are not well prepared for applying for schools and scholarships.

I strongly regret placing my children in this system that makes a joke of education. When they graduate without learning more than I was taught in 7th grade, I am horrified at the federal funds wasted sending them to colleges which have also dumbed down their subjects to maintain enrollment.
