It's a really good school, they have well qualified teachers and activities that are really fun, I hope it was a bit more rounded like an inclusion of other sports for students.

I like that we could make our own clubs, the team's were good but when it came to academic's it was poorly done because we didn't have permit teachers and principal so it was a reck. Also, all the fights that was break out almost every day.

My personal experience with South Shore was great. I felt that the school had a great connection with the student. They were all supportive to all students and their personal needs. Students were able to connect with the staff members and the staff members make it possible for students to feel comfortable to come to them for anything. They make sure they keep in contact with the students and help them once they have graduate from the school. They stay connected with the students future endeavors.
