I've enjoyed my time at Lutheran South. The school is very supportive and classes are, for the most part, academically challenging.

The courses are challenging enough that the students are able to push themselves. However, often the quantity of homework that accompanies the curriculum is excessive and does not allow for an ideal school-life balance.

As a parent, I see my child thriving at Lutheran South. From academics to athletics, he is constantly telling me stories of how he feels encouraged and supported by his teachers and coaches. The best part of our experience is in how conflict is handled through a biblical lens.

I found this school to be a major let down. We had very high hopes but found a lot of politics and very little help with displine problems with bullies. Very unhappy with this school.
