I go to an extension of this school, not the school itself, so my review is somewhat lacking in depth. However, my friends seem to enjoy their experience!

Although my time at South Effingham was short, it was enjoyable. There are a plethora of sports, clubs, and extracurricular activities for students to try. The classes can be challenging but mentally stimulating. Majority of the teachers are kind and good at their job with the exception of a few questionable teachers. I wish they would've done a better job of introducing me to the school and how it operated as a transfer student. Overall, South Effingham was a great school.

The best part about going to South Effingham High School is that the people here try to make school more enjoyable such as rewarding kids with prizes such as popsicles, popcorn, and etc. The principle also engages with the students by asking how there day is and playing music on certain days to uplift students and teachers. Overall the school this is the school you want your child to be at, there is little to no fights going on and the students learn in class.
