I luv SSBS because it is a great school and great atmosphere there and my teachers are great. Chapels are always so intresting and the hot lunches are good too. Being in Bible Quiz is also very great it give me a challenge while I strive to get closer to the Lord. And I love our team. Go South Side!

Our daughter is a sophomore at SSBS. Starting high school in a new enviornment is always daunting, but the faculty and staff at SSBS bent over backwards to make her feel welcome and accepted. The begining of the year Jr. High/High school retreat shows the deep level of dedication to getting the school year off to a great start. This retreat allows students and staff to get to know eachother and to bond. The reatreat also stresses the importance of Jesus in everybodys life -- what a tremenoduous way to begin the year! Our daughter is receiving an excellent education. The school focus is on quality education and most importantly serving and praising our Lord, Jesus Christ! Sports, music lessons, drama -- SSBS has it all. We are very satisfied and intend to send our younger daughter to SSBS for high school, too.

My 4 children attend this school. The teachers are very good to my kids, authentic Christian environment. I feel they are safe there. I feel they exceed academic goals compared to the public school system and other private schools.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
