I want to express my extreme disappointment with this school, particularly the kindergarten program. My son was enrolled in kindergarten, but unfortunately, we had terrible experiences that led us to withdraw him and enroll him in a different school.The primary issue was with his teacher. She isolated him by placing his desk away from the other students. Despite our attempts to collaborate and find a solution, the teacher instead portrayed him as a problem child. This was particularly concerning because his behavior was never an issue with his bus drivers or at daycare.Since transferring to a new school, my son, now in second grade, has thrived without any behavioral problems. This experience highlights a significant need for better teacher training at Southworth, especially in classroom management and problem-solving. It is crucial for educators to work collaboratively with parents to support each child’s unique needs.

The school district allows bullying, and has bullied kids themselves. As well as not respecting people's votes or voice when it comes to the levy's, or anything. Teachers frequently strike. Last year they bribed students to walk out with them with a pizza party at the city park. Not a good district at all.

Going here was horrible. The studies were boring, there are no games allowed, you can't stand at lunch, you have to throw away milk in a completely different container, through box material into trash, through food in another thing, and basically separate every molecule of your plate. PE is especially bad considering many go to the nurses after a fitness run, and teachers do not really care at all except for some rare exceptions.
