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.

Though there has been conflicts, I've had many people helping me along the way and being an open hand for me to call on.

Personally, South Central was a very good experience for me. Every year I had teachers that taught well but also mentored me. My basketball coach has been a fundamental part in my growth as a person. I have no complaints about South Central.

I really enjoyed school. Most fo the teachers were amazing, and the faculty staff, for the most part, was good. My only complaint would be the counselors. This is because I lost a full-ride scholarship because of an error committed on their part.

This school runs more like a prison than a place of learning and development. Take your kids out and home school or private school because they won’t be prepared for success.
