This has been a great experience. My mother in law was a teacher here for years, and you can see the passion she invokes in students. My daughter now attends this school, and has had a great experience. New principal this year, so some rules were a little different than expected, but it is all to promote student safety so we can’t really be too upset by it. Students are not allowed to carry backpacks around FYI, so plan to buy your student a nice zippered binder or something similar. Only complaint my daughter has is about math, but not because of the teacher, more so she just doesn’t love the subject. She has been encouraged to try new things, they have relevant and new clubs all the time (a swifitie club!) and in general seem to be very all inclusive.

South is great. There is a large diverse student population, yet all kids seem to be getting along fairly well. The school is always well maintained, inside and out. Our kids have had games/activities here long before they ever attended classes, and it's always just so well maintained. You can tell they take pride in their school. Our daughter cheers, and they have a great program. They have so many different clubs and sports to participate in, and there truly is something for everyone. Faculty all seems to be genuinely invested in the students and their success, which as a parent is great to see. Communication is excellent on all fundraisers/school activities, and our kids LOVE participating in these events whenever they can.

Children were able to make friends really fast their first year. They are giving great opportunities to learn about many things. Also, there is a good push to stay off of tablets unless required, love that!
