Even though I read all the reviews on all the schools before choosing this one, I really chose it for the qualities of the high school. My son's lowest grade on the last two report card was a 96 and four of the grades were 100's. He is smart. The teachers don't reward him, they seem to punish him. When

If you know your child will never be more than a burger flipper, then go for it, take the free ride. If your child is gifted and headed far, don't let this school pull them down. Oh, don't ever fill out the 'will call you back' form, they never do. Read less

Terrible school! parents don't send your children to this school. Leadership in this school is awful/rude. They do not listen the children or parents. Academics are awful, they don't tell you your child may be failing until it's too late.

This school needs to be looked at a little closer. Why is it that the faculty are not interested in communicating with parents until the child is failing miserably? The year is half over and now they want to offer a tutoring session? Seems a little late if you ask me. The dress code is absurd! I

I don't like the school at all. Prison like. I have been yelled at several times by the woman who works the front door, accused of not singing in, when she just signed me in, etc. Rude, rude, rude. Getting to the office is like asking for someone's first born child. Speaking to anyone in the office

I feel that Southview Middle School is an OK school. I feel that the dress code is a little crazy but, my main concern is the quality of the teachers.

I have also found it very difficult to be able to contact any teacher with out being put off and told to call back at a later time.

Southview has an OK curriculum, but the problem is that there is a lot of racial tension between students that continues to be ignored.
