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.

I have had 2 kids go through South O Elementary. We have had wonderful teachers and the staff has been equally as wonderful. Our community is tight knit and we have lots of local businesses that support us. Our kids really enjoyed their time there.
