This school is a very interesting place, it can either be great or awful. Some of the teachers care too much about feelings and less about learning, they subtly bring their own beliefs and thoughts into the class room. Teachers also decide that the students that rarely do anything wrong somehow deserve worse punishment, yet the students that are repeatedly the issue, simply receive warning after warning, but god forbid if the best student says one word while to teacher says to be quiet. (While the other students carry on their conversations long after) Overall, the school is not the best, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

We moved to this area a few months back and while my children have been to several other school before they have never had these types of problems. Constant bullying, teachers that do the bare minimum. Faculty that turns a blind eye to bullying. There is zero follow up from the staff concerning any of the problems I've brought to their attention. By far the worst school my kids have ever attended and should be shut down. We are literally in the process of finding another school to send our children. If my review doesn't tell you enough, just look at the scores for the school. It's falling in every way possible. Really sad.

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.
