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 students, staff members, and parents at Southern are amazing! I drive an hour to and from school every day, but it is definitely worth the trip! The teachers collaborate as a team to individualize instruction and to ensure that all students experience success on a daily basis.
