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.

Communication hasn't been super great, and I've never been able to access ParentSquare despite many attempts to resolve technical issues. It would be great if communication was clear and consistent, and if online platforms were user-friendly and helpful.

Overall my time at south hills was gret, as I approach my final month I can think back and rember that even though I started out online, I made so many friends and memories that would last me a lifetime. I wouldn't change any of it because I'm happy where I am right now, and even if I'm not happy with some things in high school , they brought me and made me who I am today.
