At South High School, I really enjoy the culture and teachers at the school, as well as the diversity of clubs and sports offered. I also like the student voice involvement in leadership, sports, or other aspects of South.
1/3/2025
South High School is a great place to learn and grow. The diversity here creates a welcoming environment where everyone feels included. The administrators are kind and approachable, and they are always willing to listen and help. The counselors take the time to get to know each student, offering support not just for academics but for personal goals as well. It's a school that values its students and makes sure everyone has what they need to succeed.

I love South High School. Even though it is a very large high school, I have made many friends and do many activities. I'm happy that I have a high school experience. My teachers are understanding and nice. I like the selection of classes offered. I like the AP World History class and teacher a lot.

As one who always felt commitment to our neighborhood schools, I am very sad to give this poor review and to share that we will be pulling our child out of this school after one year. Overall, the curriculum is extremely content poor, and many of the teachers are more interested in far-left politica...
