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 would like for Southington Highschool to incorporate an afterschool bus program for those who cannot attend extracurriculars

I would say the worst part of this school is the food. It lacks nutrition and can be inedible. Despite the lunch, there is a wide range of classes to take within your career path that that definitely will guide you for the near future.

My experience at Southington High School has been very draining the last four years. I have been eagerly waiting to graduate and move on to college however, I have had a few delightful experiences with teachers. A few of my teachers have provided me with great assistance in my academics and in my personal life. My highschool career overall was not one I would like to relive but there have been some good, fun moments.
