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.

Southwest High School has grown immensely in the short few years I have attended. It provides diversity of academic and sports involvement. One of the best parts, is that they offer college credit and college readiness programs. This was probably the most important for me. Some things that I would like to see change is the Fine Arts Department because of the unfair inclusivity of some groups. Overall, it has provided the resources for me to achieve my goals.

I would say that my overall experience while attending southwest has been very good. I've barely in my sophomore year but things are going good for me there. The people are nice, staff is very helpful and upbringing to us students and make sure to involve everyone in any way they possibly can. The positivity they bring too is great. I don't think I'd change much

Its a good school and it is very fun to be here. Except one thing and it bothers me a lot. Most YouTube videos are blocked. I understand but I also don't understand. I know we might watch something you don't agree with or don't wanna hear. But we have headphones and you have Go Guardian. What can we...
