Southwood Elementary School

Great school. Lovely teachers and other staffs too.

My daughter completed her first year at this school and she loves the school and so do we. The staff and teachers are kind and caring about the students. Due to the pandemic my daughter was behind on her reading due to virtual learning, my daughters teacher noticed and got her extra help for the school year. By the end of the school year her reading improved tremendously. I highly recommend this school to those who are looking for a caring school with staff that cares about your children, with a Christian education.

The curriculum itself is strong and academically enriching, but there appears to be little consideration or respect shown toward parents. Unfortunately, the school often seems reactive rather than solution-based, and at times, communication lacks professionalism. Parents who raise questions or offer constructive feedback are too often met with silence or avoidance rather than open dialogue. I am also aware of at least one other parent who experienced a similar situation, where a meeting intended to “talk things out” became a one-sided exchange that left her feeling dismissed and blamed rather than heard. These patterns are concerning and do not reflect the values of collaboration, respect, and partnership that a school community should uphold.

I am both a more educated and a more moral person because of what I learned there.
