South Middle School

South Middle School is just like any other school in that students who genuinely put in effort and try will receive a meaningful education, while those who don't will just skate right through. The school's administration does its best to instill positive values and provide care to students, however many students are apathetic, depressed, and disrespectful (one student even defecated in a bathroom sink). Any sense of school spirit is non-existent. Teachers at the school are hit-or-miss; most of them were proficient with one or two exceptions. The school itself is very old and cramped, long overdue for a re-build. The bathrooms are absolutely horrendous; I would consider holding it all day. There aren't a lot of clubs or activities to choose from, but our music programs are very strong, and we have a wide variety of sports to offer. Overall, while South isn't a perfect school, it was very influential in making me the person I am today.

My kids are cared for, affirmed, and are challenged in the environment South has provided. There is no better place!

I would rate it amazing because they have really helped me grow and become who I am and want to be.

My daughter is in the 6th grade so we are new to South. But she is excelling even better than middle school. Has perfect attendance for the first time ever because she is challenged, encouraged and loves her teachers. So far so good!

The school is not the best it could be in teaching, emotional help, and cleanliness. (the bathrooms don't ever look or smell clean, there is graffiti, the showers don't work, and when the students get dress coded they must change into their most likely dirty p.e clothes or go home)
