South High school has an excellent college preparedness for students similarly with their classes. Sanitation would be my only note.
9/9/2024
The best part about South High School is the programs they have. South High School gives students so many opportunities to join programs and activities that help them for college and more. What makes it better is the staff helping with the college program. The worst part about South High School is the food. Sometimes they had favorites but most of the time the food was okay.
