Located right off Browns Road is Southdown Primary School, serving young students in kindergarten to third grade. Founded in 1954, this public elementary school currently enrolls approximately 400 students and teaches young minds to flourish in an academic environment of respect, encouragement, and high expectations. Recent upward trends in academic performance indicate that students are making strides when it comes to improving test scores. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 10-to-1, class sizes are smaller, helping the school’s dedicated staff to work closely with each child. One of the highlights at Southdown School is that each student has access to a Google Chromebook, helping to enhance student engagement and learning. The school’s recently renovated library provides young minds with the opportunity to learn and explore individual interests. Parents can also be part of the community by joining the PTA, where they can partake in fun events such as block parties, movie nights, bingo, and more.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Would never repeat my daughters education experience at the school. Hugely disappointing in the last few years especially her third grade year. Teachers and aids in her third grade year were atrocious and administration refuses to be accountable.
