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 Kitsap High School from my freshman year in 2019 till my senior year graduating in 2023. I had some good experiences in my sports with being able to be recognized well in my sport and helped me get to play in college where I'm now. My worst experience was the lack of safety in the school. South Kitsap High School is a very big school that has a lot of students attending since it is the only high school in the county. Since there were so many kids, there was a lack of security in the school. What I hope to see change is more security for the safety of the students who attend the high school.

South Kitsap has been a good school overall. It has school spirit and the faculty help as much as they can. The counselors, at least my counselor, did not help me with a lot of college readiness like I had wanted but I solved it on my own. They have amazing school subjects to choose from and are easy to attend.

I enjoy the games and spirit days South also has a large variety of classes to choose from which is nice, but some of the teachers aren't so nice or they aren't too understanding. But overall the school is okay. I would like to see nicer people at south if possible.

Aside from it being over-crowded, SK offers AP prep courses for anyone willing to accept the challenge as well as CTE courses to prepare for the workforce. We have been very impressed with the band and orchestra programs
