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.

A decent high school, but suffers from overcrowding issues. Teachers are 40% great, 60% awful, there's really no in between. Plenty of places to eat and shop for snacks around the school, and classes are generally kept somewhat interesting. Traffic in the immediate area around the school is bad most of the day.

My experience at Omaha South Magnet High School was amazing in my opinion. There was so many classes that you could take like theater, band, orchestra, piano, choir, ambassadors. Those are just some of the classes that are available if you are interested in any of those options.
