4.0 Sophomore

9/21/2025

As this is my second year at south, I have learned a lot and made many new friends. Sophomore year has really gave me more friends than I had last year, and I love it. Almost if not all of my teachers I like too

5.0 Freshman

5/26/2025

When I first stepped foot into the doors of South Side Highschool it was nothing other then a monumentally life changing experience. At first I was really overwhelmed. Because how could middle school feel so recent yet so far away from me. I thought "South Side will be my fresh start". So I gave high school my all and it is starting to pay off. My school just started a college gear up program for freshman and I was really involved with it. Though it came with a lot of anxiety having to present Infront of my whole 9th grade class on a stage it made me realize how much I loved public speaking. I started to get really involved with the organization and I'm now one of the many leaders who helps greet the big people in fort wayne. Southside wasn't all sunshine. We deal with numerous fights and countless amount of gun threats. But among all the loudness there is a calmness that is the knowing that everyone is growing and trying to become better.

A very enjoyable environment. Some students ruin things for other but, it is a great school nonetheless.

When I came to Southside I expected to not be challenged. But, it proved my assumption wrong. This school has challenging courses regardles...

Apologies for the long review!South Side often gets a bad reputation, but I don't believe that this is fair. Yes, not all teachers are perfect, and neither is the administration, but the students aren't perfect either. It can be a challenge managing a school where the student body is so diverse and...

If I could score Southside high school with zero stars I would. First the guidance administration doesn't even know the students that they're supposed to be guiding nor do they help them figure out what they want to do and help prepare for college. They are basically there for students to come talk...
