i love this school when i went here i had a struggle but then i got going with all do respect this school is the best middle school in all of fort wayne

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.

This is my childs 3rd year here. I have had no issues up until this year. False accusations with no meritt or proof.Calling my child lazy.. and many more. I've been called into the office on many occasions mostly under false pretenses. I am a very understanding person but I think they misuse the little power they have to get back at parents and are more concerned with their quota and ratings then helping their children succeed. Furthermore, they have been very rude to me on many more occasions. this school year and I will be changing schools for my child nesxt school year so they can get the attention she needs to succeed in school
