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 teachers are mostly nice and are usually willing to help but to an extent. They're not pushovers when it comes to things like late work or missing assignments. Its easy to make friendships with the staff. The students can be annoying though

South Lake has a very welcome back and family spirit . The staff is wonderful. They are very helpful and have a sense of wanting every student to succeed. South Lake offers a handful of Advanced Placement courses to challenge yourself also. There are great extracurricular activities to choose from as well. The school overall is a wonderful place to learn and to be at for your high school experience.

The teachers union worked hand-in-hand with administrators to create a united front to the community---...

The issue isn't merely school of choice it is that the teachers/administrators do not know how to deal with the diversity at this school. It's "ok" for certain students to use the "N" word and refer to other students as "crackers" and the adults who hear it do nothing about it, unacceptable. Be prep...
