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 worst part is the food is nasty and a good thing is the there is different pathways you can take.

There are a lot of students who bully based on skin color and/or sexuality. However, the teachers are pretty fair. I learn a lot and can count on most teachers for things that aren't even school-related. I know the teachers care for us as people, and I appreciate the many things they do both for my grades and mental health.

I recently graduated from Southern. The teachers were excellent at ensuring students fully understood material. Some teachers did not, and some only ensured this is if a student came for help. Not a top of the line school, but a good school to go to learn and make lots of friends. Little bullying and many fun memories
