South Side Middle School

My grandson is autistic and attends Lincoln in the preschool program for children with special needs. The program really needs to be re-evaluated. I'm strongly encouraging my grandson's parents to find him another school for the next school term.

This is school is in total disarray! My daughter attended this school for 2 years and in this time I saw things I should never see within school walls the teachers are only dedicated to students they "like" and many other students fall by the way side. My daughter struggled socially in this school which she has never done. The principal was obsessed with apperances. Tuition is inflated and the quality of education in this school is poor. If possible please take your little angels someplace else.

Would not recommend. They promised so many services on my kids IEP and two weeks later they had us transferred. I bought new uniforms and school supplies that I never got back. I wouldn't recommend any schools in Memphis Shelby county schools district. Horrible

This school has done extremely well to improve the strategies to best fit the children's needs. But, the main problem we have are parents that will not help with homework or things that need to happen at home, so we are behind in the school. This is a great school to be at, and we have recently met our AYP requirements. We are only going up from here

I was hired to be the bqnd director but on day one was told the posistion was for general music and got push back when I brought up the posistion information that stated they were hiring for a band director. They said they want a band but need to get kids interested in it first before developing the program so wanted a general music teacher instead. The school is also disserving students because they do not have sped resources for the overwhelming majority of students who require more assistance than they can get from a normal classroom. Students at this school are not held accountable for their behavior which is reflected in their test scores because the majority of the time they are running the halls and vandalising school property along with disrupting other teachers classrooms. The administration has the attitude that puts students at risk later in life because they are not developing a sense of accountability to do the right thing on theirbown without coxing. Being rewarded in food and candy for just going into a classroom most days.
