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 spent 4 years at South Pointe. I was class of 24'. I had a great time there, I played football. I had a great relationship with the faculty and staff. They prepared me for college by meeting with me regularly about my goals and allowing me to advance educationally by taking college courses early. Kicking my bias to the curb, I would recommend this school to everybody.

The worst part about south pointe is the no cell phone policy, but every school has it. The best part would be the clubs there, such as drama club because it's a nice atmosphere and everyone is nice and also, we did just won state for the Palmetto Dramatic Association.

I have enjoyed my experience at South Pointe High School. I definitely had a hard time in high school but the group of teachers here are actually here for the students and will make sure you are good. I've participated in sports my whole high school career and most of are sport facilities are good.

my experience has been awful as a student. it is no better than a jail. they disrespect transgender,gay,people of color and disabled students. they have no respect for those students. they don't handle bullying and some things that happen seem illegal even. this is not a place you want your student...

We transferred in as a 9th grader because I hear such good things about this school. We can't play sports for 365 days from transferring and it is worth it to be at a school with STEM program.

SPHS offers a wide range of diversity . The staff is terrific and the teachers go out of their way to help their students. The theatre program and Art programs are amazing! My daughter feels safe and cared about at SP. It is definately a nuturing environment!
