I like the variety of classes offered that support a wide variety of interests. Most of the staff are personable, although I would like to see a different, more thorough method of background checking potential staff/coaches.

South was amazing I honestly can't complain. I just graduated and had an amazing four years. I wish I could go back.
6/1/2024
I really enjoy my school. But I'm not sure I am really prepared for college. Or at least for the higher end colleges I'm interested in. I want to be well prepared for college.
