Some of the best and worst parts about south high school is: Good: - diversity - makes a lot of friends - meets new people - flexible with your studies Worst: - teacher do and don't care a lot about what goes on - class lessons are okay but could be taught better - safety could be so much better starting off with security
6/15/2025
While being at south I have had good and bad experiences. But that's just high school. I will say there isn't much diversity and that can impact the feeling of inclusivity with a lot of activities. Some teachers are very good and accommodating but some aren't and don't really care for their students. I will say south has a lot of AP and CE opportunities but most will have to be sought after. The clubs are nice and there were a few teachers that I looked up too.
5/31/2025
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.
