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.

The changes that I would like to see are more involvement of the student body. When we have spirit days, people rarely participate, which I think could be approved on. The best parts of my experience though was the beta club. This is because the best of the best come together to help the community, and every service we did was always fun to do.

As a 4-year student of Southside High School, I have experienced everything this school has to offer. Teachers strive for their students to achieve their full potential while also prioritizing their safety. Almost all the teachers I had the chance to meet were amazing and loved their job, with one or two gave off the feeling that they did not want to be there. The school itself is one of a kind, with an all technology based learning and up-to-date and new facilities.

Best parts of my experience at Southside is the culture, students are very friendly and set up many activities throughout the year that makes high school a fun experience. The worst parts would be when students have fights in the halls and when the school has been put in danger. I would like to see there be more prevention of danger in the school either from students being harmful to each other or strangers coming into the school.
