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.

South Windsor high school was a great place for me to learn. Although I met a few uncooperative teachers throughout my highschool career, the majority of them were very accepting and extremely helpful overall. I especially confided in my guidance counselor Mr. Briggs over the course of my junior and senior year here. Regardless of everything, I made memories and friends here that I will forever cherish.

South Windsor High School is very good at preparing students for college. I feel like the courses I have taken are good at preparing me, and the AP offerings are good. It has a really strong music program, and a world-class robotics program. Its sports teams are okay. Overall, it is a very good school.
Many students appear to be into social class and act like they support those who are different, but when it comes to actually socializing with others, they make fun of and look down on less privileged students.
The administration of SWHS is extraordinarily separated from students. The school isn't too large but you will still see people who you've never seen before every time you go to the office. I legitimately didn't know who the principal was until 10th grade. I never got in trouble once for anything du...
