i've gone there for 4 years and nothing has ever really changed i mean there's mold in ceilings and mice in teachers desk and i've been learning basically the same things since freshman year. The honors classes here are the exact same as the regular classes just with 3 points added on to your grade at the end of.

South side is a great school in Madison county to attend to. Only thing I do not really like is how biased they are to certain students. They can provide great education for your child
