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 teachers, administrators, and coaches truly care about each and every student within the school. Our school has a sense of community that envelopes each students. All of the leaders do their best to cater to the education needs and learning curves of each student. The main improvement I would like to see is better money management within our school system to each program.

Southern Wells is a tight knit community. A lot of alumni still live in the area and contribute towards the school. In my experience, the teachers are great, but there has been multiple changes in the staff as of recent.

There is a great community at this school, but it is being broken down by the new high school administration.

The character of the student body aside, the teachers can't control a class to save their life, and god forbid your child has a disability, the special ed people totally know how to treat an autistic child.
