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.

I attended South Pontotoc my whole life. I loved every second and would go there again or send my kids there if given the chance. All of the teachers care about their students and try their best to make sure they succeed.

I play football and with that we do various training exercises and lift weights. Our school could use improvement with the equipment. School spirit is great at our school
