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 about teachers, they give you so many ways for you to pass the class. Given so many chances that other students don't seem to take but are WILLING to help us in any way. Tho atmosphere isn't as great, teachers are great. Administrators are okay.

The experience was okay and while the teachers and the courses could be rigorous the badly maintained and constantly broken toilets always annoyed me. The buildings were primarily built over 30 years ago and suffer from being bland and cramped especially the halls that caused everyone to take the same route and clog it up.

South Cobb High School was a weird time for me because I graduated during the pandemic in 2022. Seeing my peers on Zoom was new, although before 2020, it was fun. I learned a lot and met some pretty good people. The administration could be harsh sometimes. My only other gripe was the food and dealing with three racist teachers, but thankfully, they no longer work there.

My 3 children go here and I am involved in PTA and Band. I have a good relationship with their teachers and I feel they are in a safe environment. Their overall test scores have increased over the past 2 years as well. Stay involved in the schools and you will succeed.

This school is making a really bad 1st impression thus far. I really hope the teachers are better than all the registration staff and front office personnel. They have registration only 3 days a week and even if you make an appointment online, you may very well end up being SOL when you show up. The...
