This School’s Reviews

5.0 Senior

9/28/2018

At South Stanly we learned to have fun in all classes! It's constantly teachers trying their best to try new and fun things to help connect and teacher their students.

3.0 Alum

11/15/2016

I would like to see more involvement with alumni. And more interest in the music department. The music department was fantastic, band and chorus. The director of both put a lot of hard work into the school. He makes the school itself worth going to. A lot of the other teachers and staff are rude especially to alumni.

The school is very small so the teachers have more time to make sure the student know the topic.

Because he chooses to maintain a casual atmosp...
