Southern High School Reviews
Rating 3.57 out of 5 228 reviews
My overall experience with Southern has really taught me a lot. Being in such a small town, I feel like Southern is so connected with everyone. I feel like I know everybody in the school, making involvement of sports, clubs and other extracurriculars very high. Everybody knows everybody and that is one thing I enjoy so much about the school
My experience at Southern High School has been good overall. I have met some close friends and have consistently had teachers that cared about me and my success. I was successful in my classes because of the teachers putting in the effort and extra time to ensure that I did well. Although, Southern High School is very outdated. The bathrooms are rusty, the HVAC doesn't work, and overall there are a lot of issues with the school itself.
The best part of my experience at Southern High School was the relationships I made while gaining an education. Throughout my four years, I made connections with multiple classmates and teachers. I felt comfortable reaching out to teachers for help when needed and felt that I always had a strong support system.
