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.

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.

I attended South High as a freshman. I was welcomed with open arms into a school full of character and inspiration. My teachers were very respectful and made sure to be personable and made me feel safe everyday. The counseling center was always there when i needed it and i felt comfortable speaking to the school counselors and admin.
