Southridge is not a good or safe school. My son was taught little during the 3 years he went here. He learned more at home than he did at school. he was afraid for his safety. He told me about daily fights, weapons at school and numerous arrests of students, there was no effective security except when
... Read more the police were there. He considers his time there a waste of time, as he learned so little. When I signed him out of school, no one cared to ask why or talk to him about it. His test scores were always high(FCAT etc.). He scored very well on his GED; finished his Eagle Scout and is now serving proudly in the military. Read less
