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.

My experience at southland college prep was really good. I didn't have to deal with any social anxieties because everyone there was nice. The teachers know exactly what the students want and they know how to make a safe learning environment. They are really good when it comes to getting students into college as well. This school is the right pick if you want to get into college with ease.

Toxic environment. Certain teachers have received multiple complaints degradation of students, failing to prepare students for exams, and intolerance. The authorities at this school shield them. Students are overworked and stressed. No child should be subjected to that.

Horrible place! They allow students to bully others. They might have a great graduation rate and send kids to college. But they do nothing to ensure the kids can pay for college or that they are prepared for college level classes.
