South Side is a very good environment for growth and learning. The staff is very kind and supportive and spends a lot of unpaid time to help you. South side is a small one A school but they give opportunities that put bigger schools to shame.

You've got to be kidding! this is the worst school my kids have ever attended. Being in the military we have been to several schools across the country and this is by far the worst. Parental involvement is non existent. It is not encourage or wanted. They have there own little click and that is all...
