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.

One of the best parts of going to Southgate was definitely the teachers. Ms.Burgess, Mr.Rebekah, and Mrs.Cieslak changed my way of looking at school and made me learn. One of the worst parts was the lack of help for bullying. If I was getting bullied by someone in sports or deemed "popular" nothing was done. I would definitely like to see a change in favoritism towards students.
