I am currently a senior at southwind high school. My experience with this school may be different for everybody, but I've had a pretty good four years of the school. The food is alright, the teachers sometimes teach sometimes they don't. It makes it very hard for students who want to learn to learn. They've got pretty lazy over the past couple of years I've been here, but there's nothing I can do about that. The principal, he keeps everybody in check pretty much and the admin keeps everybody in check. So I will recommend this school if it's something that you would like, but to me, I'll rate this school a 3 out of 5.

Southwind is an okay school. There are just a lot of teachers who don't teach or purposefully hinder you from learning and achieving. The student's attitudes and level of care for the most part is low. Some teachers are against you and make things harder than they should be. We need more teachers who care about us and that can control their reactions. People who can work with the kids and actually help them instead of sorta bullying. We also need more classes that help us prepare for college and courses that are truly helpful.

I really enjoyed my time at the school they were always making learning fun. We had plays and fairs that helped get the students ready for the next chapter of life

I'm a student who actually graduated from Southwind. My four year experience was quite adventurous. As I was pushed to my limit athletically and academically.
