i attended shawnee 6-8th grade 2019-22 with mrs bender as principal 6th grade was great i was a straight b student didnt get into any trouble she loved me all the teachers loved me then covid hit and in 7th grade i stopped caring my grades went down and i became a “bad kid” as they called me this teacher got mad a at me told the principal i was going to hit her ( i was walking my friend to class and she didn’t like that) if you or your child get bad grades chances are the teachers dont like them/ you the students are mean and i had many problems with them 8th grade i got into a fight and i defended myself my putting my arm infront of my face ( i didnt NOT hit her) mrs bender came into her office and said i hit her dead in the face and i was going to get suspended i told her go watch the cameras again because i know i didnt hit her she did and she said i never hit her maybe i just have a bad experience when i was there but i would not recommend your kid going here

I've come from a few different schools now, both of which were "early college" schools providing a plethora of advanced college courses and busy work schedules. When I came to Southside I expected to not be challenged. But, it proved my assumption wrong. This school has challenging courses regardless of the teacher you have. There is homework and reading to do outside of class sometimes and there are AP classes for those who are... Ahead of other students. The problem is, the majority of students at Southside just don't care about their grades or education as a whole. This school has so much integrity and passion, and staff try their best to make sure students feel comfortable and actually understand the work that is given. Also, college credits can be earned as well. Early college classes are provided to students. Also, the only reason why I wouldn't consider this school to be particularly safe, is because a lot of the students are... rough... and initiate fights over little drama. People are very violent here.

You left a little girl's arm broken, that is not okay, very gross.
