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.

Great school. Encouraging teachers, over 30 school clubs and extra curricular activities, bright tone and calm atmosphere, they make it easy to transfer from elementary to middle school, and finally kind smart students. The best thing about Palos South are the great dedicated students who are accepting of all different races and cultures. Highly recommend Palos South for everyone.

What a wonderful school! The academics are top notch and kids are graduating with a knowledge base well above other schools. The resources are endless. It is also wonderful to see how respectful and well behaved the children are. No where else I would want my kids!!
