I would not recommend this school to anyone. My son started 6th grade here in August, and our experience has been nothing short of distressing. Since the start of the year:•I’ve been personally threatened by a teacher.•My child has been racially bullied.•Despite my repeated concerns and my son having an active IEP, he continues to struggle with little to no support or follow-through.•I’ve had to request monthly IEP meetings because his accommodations are not being implemented correctly.•Most recently, my child was physically attacked by another student at school.As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to watch your child go through this while receiving minimal accountability or assistance from staff. I’ve tried working with the school in good faith, but the lack of safety, communication, and proper support has left me with serious concerns about how students—especially those with disabilities—are treated.I’m now exploring other options for my child’s education, but unfortunately, living in the county limits what’s available. I sincerely hope the administration takes these issues seriously for the sake of other families.

Great school with lots of different backgrounds, sports and clubs.

Our family has had a child attending South for the last seven years. The entire team at South Elementary School, from teachers to administration, from guidance counselors to office staff, create a warm and welcoming environment for children. Individual student learning needs are considered and supported with supportive specialists available to assist students with learning challenges and guidance counselor support to assist children with their mental health needs.Parental input is valued and considered and the Parent/Teacher Committee holds regular events to develop and encourage the school community.I can't imagine a better foundation for my children's education than South Elementary!
