I am not sure how to rate this school as of yet. The teachers that I have met seem okay. However, the administrative staff may need a lesson in manners and common courtesy. They have horrible attitudes and I think they lead the way for a few teachers that wish to display their unfortuante personalities as well. I may come back in a few months and have something better to say. (God willing.) I have to say...our schools up North would NEVER be run the way this one is.

I’ve had several children attend this school and the elementary school (across the road). Both are riddled with poor quality teaching staff. The BOE is no better when addressing any concerns. Giles is a small town, where most that went to these schools stayed local. Everyone knows everyone. The 7-12 is headed by a Coach, that doesn’t appear to have much control of anything. His wife is a teacher that (“shock”) repetitively receives “teacher of the year”. The SRO is a good man, but he has his job cut out as staff and faculty work against his efforts by causing infractions to either school safety/policy or common sense, when concerning security.Are all the teaching staff at the HS or Elementary school bad? No, but the the good ones don’t outweigh the many negative aspects of this school system.Large donations to the school or football team are greatly accepted and will grant your son or daughter “super student/ athlete” status, and they will all be warmly accepted and treated with great honor.

This is an excellent school, with a wonderful administration!

I personally think that southside is a great school!! My daughter had a great teacher in 3rd grade(Mrs. Christie Simpson). She was very easy to get along with and all the kids seem to love her. My daughter had excellent grades in her class from the begining of the school year until the end.Praying that she will get a great teacher this year!!!:)
