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 best part of my experience is being taught by great teachers that are very helpful and nice. The worst is the food, but I just choose to bring my lunch.

My experience with Fort Zumwalt South High School has been pretty good. We recently got a new principal and ever since then I feel like the whole environment and the school itself has improved tremendously. I have always felt successful when it comes to academics and the teachers that I have had have always made me feel like their own child and welcomed. Everyone wants the best for you and is willing to help you to achieve your goals.

Just asking while attending a sporting event at your school. When the national anthem is sung. The people have to face the grand stand broadcast tower where there is a little metal flag wired to the building. It would be a lot better if there was a cloth flag where people can see it

Going to South High I not only realize that the school is ill equipped with the proper staff needed to function a proper high school but, also when it comes down to making decisions the management lacks the skills to do so. Not to mention the fights and yelling that takes place in the hallway. Their...
