South Point ranks in the top 10 among all schools for having the highest student proficiency, and we are No. 1 among all traditional (non-magnet) high schools for the highest proficiency. We exceeded our academic growth expectations and earned a B school performance grade, which is difficult to achieve on the state accountability and testing program.

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
