This year it’s my daughter’s second year in Southern Elementary school, she loves the school and her teachers.We are worried for her in kindergarten but she headed up have a caring teacher and that was her first time teaching. I do recommending this school because of my two years experience with them and more will come soon.

I went to this school from k-5 and throughout my whole time I was bullied by my piers and in 5th I had a whole class team up on me and the school did nothing. Another time A girl shoved a bead into my ear canal and I had to go the the ER and the school did nothing about it that student was never disaplened.

The students, staff members, and parents at Southern are amazing! I drive an hour to and from school every day, but it is definitely worth the trip! The teachers collaborate as a team to individualize instruction and to ensure that all students experience success on a daily basis.

I have an autistic son and teachers @ southern don't understand students with disabilities, they don't communicate with parents to inform child progress and never want to answer any concerns that I may have, either if you write emails to them or on the child journal.

Love this school...my daughter started here in 3rd grade (now 5th) after being in private school since PreK. The transition was very smooth and she has loved all of her teachers.

My oldest son has been going to Southern for 3 years now and I have had nothing more than a great experience. My son has improved so much over the past couple of years. Teachers have been great in dealing with me and my child. Keep up the good work.
