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.

At South Pittsburg High School, I see a lot of teachers trying to work with their students, as well as faculty trying to make the high school experience better for everyone.

Being at South Pittsburg is a great thing. I have been here all my life and I wouldn't choose a better place. The teachers are great and they care for their students as if they were their children. They may care a little too much and it is a little overwhelming because they want the best and will do anything to help you. Overall they are great help as long as you are open and willing to understand and accept their help.

I have been attending SPHS since 2014. I have always been apart of the Pirates community. SPHS loves to see its students succeed. The teachers do everything they can to ensure we are ready for college. The environment is very friendly and everyone comes together on Friday nights to support our football team. SPHS has become my family in these last four years and they always will be.
