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.

Never had any issues with any teacher or problems with my education here. Teachers do what's expected of them and help all students in need.

I would like to say you're freshman year will be your best year. I did lack a bit my freshman year & i do feel so bad now that i look back, but it was fun until they took us out for quarantining / covid-19 , but let's not talk about that. South Lake High School has some fun activities & fun academics classes that i had & participated in. Biology had to be by far my best class i took. We did experiments & i learned a lot about DNA & so on more. I think i liked that class the most because i understand science/biology more than any other subject. I'm not going to talk about my sophomore year because i was online. Moving towards my end of junior year, its been a long year dealing with keeping & pushing so hard to keep my grades up. I've been through so much this year & you'll see why they say you're freshman & junior your most important & hardest year. I participated in this program called C2 pipeline & they talk about colleges with me.

As a former employee of South Lake Schools, I can assure you that all of the negative reviews of the current administration is very true. The administration made an average of $100,000 (+) a year. 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...
