South Tech Academy

Ineffective teachers and programs that don't actually prepare you for the workforce. Useless certifications will be pushed on the students regardless for the sake of having certifications. Very few are relevant to the workforce. A depressing number of my peers struggled to read aloud, often needed the teachers help to get through material at or even below their grade level. No worries though, they graduated anyway. Physically, the school is old and disgusting, you're better off attending the school that you're zoned for. The administration runs the school like a business and it's clear where the corners are cut. The students themselves are generally friendly and drama-lite compared to other schools. For better or for worse, I stuck the 4 years out specifically because of the friends i had made. If bullying is a huge concern and education isn't, south tech will be an amazing fit for you!

My son attended 1 year in a nearby public middle school before going to SouthTech Prep Academy - strong contrast. At SouthTech teaching seems to have attainable goals, not only "survive every day", like most of the public schools. And money is not key here - SouthTech staff is much more than a computer periphery in a huge "educational factory"

Diverse because of the 13 Academies combined with academics. Strong graduation rate, life skills and industry certifications.

I loved it it was awesome nobdy bullied the programs had what they needed

The academies are great but they spend so much money on them that the academics and the school environment in general is terrible. Most adults also don't care for their students. School grounds close at 4 on Fridays. My parents were running late but they kicked me out at 3:30. I was forced to sit in the rain outside of the school.
