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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Overall, I had a good experience at South Carroll. Many of the teachers are nice and easy to get along with. They do a really good job of preparing you for college. The school building is nice, but needs to be renovated.

My experience at South Carroll has been great for the last 3 years. Most people there are amiable and I always have someone to go to if I need help. The athletics are my favorite experience by far because it's made to be fun and I get to be with my friends.
Most teachers are okay and care about their students, but the math department lacks teachers who are able to teach all levels. There is a lot of bullying especially in the athletic fields. Overall the school is average compared to other high schools.
South Carroll is a great, safe learning environment where students can get a high level of education in one of the best school systems in the state. Good sports programs. New music and arts facilities. Positive atmosphere.

I feel like my son is getting a great preview of many career possibilities. He can go to the Career and Tech Center for t...
