Ctap ..southern high school is a joke . Turning to the counselor for help is like trying to claw your way out of a metal wall. The principal is impossible to talk to and the teachers curse at the students. The dress code is ridiculous. They have to stand and spin for the teacher every morning before they even say the pledge. Which to me is a bit of sexual harassment. The dress code reads fine. It’s the way they enforce it and how they treat the children that I disapprove of. They treat them like they’re in prison, pushing them against the wall making them put their hands to their sides measuring their fingertips. Nothing about any of that is OK to me. They put them in ASAP and don’t allow them to do their work. They don’t allow them to have a pen or pencil they don’t allow them to read. They just sit there and look forward and if your child has ADHD like mine that is pure torture , and again like prison. I don’t recommend the school if you have an option, I would choose the other option. There is lots of fights. Some of them are racially motivated. Some of them are because of your sexuality, but they are so bad that children end up in the hospital because the staff will not interfere. The kids get in trouble all the time and on while the bad kids rule the school and do whatever they want and never get in trouble it is backwards and frustrating and I’ve been to school boards I have been trying harder than anybody to talk to somebody to help my daughter, but they just set us aside and give us a piece of paper for online school , which is not an option, so they want to push her out of school and dismiss the whole situation so I would not choose the school if you have a choice. It is not a good place for your child. They will have a terrible experience. My child is not the only child who has had a bad experience. I know several and it’s sad because they want to quit , they will probably quit school. Good luck out there.

My daughter goes to school at Blue Lick. While there are some good staff, and we are happy with her teacher, we aren't happy with the overall experience. It seems that a great deal of the parents feel that it isn't necessary to follow the school's rules, dress codes, drop off/pick up policies, etc. I believe this school as well as many others are fighting an uphill battle that starts at home before they students even leave for the day. They are taught that the rules don't really matter, so how could you expect the children to obey their teachers while in class? This is a sad but true fact.

This school has so many flaws to many to name. Just a few my daughters life was threatened by a boy the school did nothing. I told them she was getting bullied and that she was going to get jumped they did nothing and 2 boys jumped her. I don’t know what to do at this point she don’t feel safe she can’t be herself she has to be what everyone else wants her to be. The only reason I gave this school 1 star is because I had to rate it to leave this. If I can help save someone else’s child from the bullying and the teachers aren’t much better! They are rude and don’t care about the kids!
