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 in South Houston High School was overall, not bad, the teachers I had were incredibly kind and helpful towards me. The one negative thing is that there was an alarming outbreak of school fights on the main campus.

One of the best parts of south Houston high school is the people and community. Everyone is nice to meet and everyone is usually friendly. You can make friends with people pretty quickly. Some of the teachers are alright but for the most part they are rough. One of the worst parts of the school is the budget. There are a lot of issues with building so I would like for there to be funding for the school

I attended this school over a decade ago and it was fairly decent. The education was up to par. Older siblings attended over two decades ago and it was even better then. Now the new generation of family is attending and I have to say that the level of education has hit rock bottom. Not only is there...
