South View itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2012, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. That represents a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2011, when it was judged to require improvement, with leadership and management also moving from Requires Improvement to Good.
