I was very excited when we bought a house in this area for our children to attend this school. After having them enrolled now for several years I can say I'm very disappointed. This is a terrible school, horrible principal and the teachers dont care about the kids or their education. I will be removing my kids from this school and enrolling them in private school. Again very disappointed.

The current principle is absolutely horrible. She lies, she has no positive input into the school or the students or the staff. All other staff are wonderful. It has been a great school for many years. It is a shame that this one lady is ruining it for everyone.

Southside k-12 We have a great school! I'm a little worried about the core change but I'm confident our school will guide us all through the changes.

Loved this school my son was only there for the 7th. He started the school yr in classes that gave him extra help. He has been in these classes since 3rd grade at another school and by the end of the yr he mo longer needed them. Great school everyone is so involved there .

I am new at Southside and have twins. I live in Arcadia but checked all the schools in a twenty mile radius. I am so happy I chose Southside to start my 5 year olds education. Mrs. Deandre runs the class like a well oiled machine and the new principle shows a great attitude and posesses professionalism in his role which I really respect. I give this school 5 stars and look forward to the years to come.

My daughter is in second grade at Southside and I feel that this school is one of the best! It has a principal/ superintendent that is so involved with our children, he and all the teachers give up their own private time to help their students and create programs to help all the kids with whatever subject they may be having trouble with. Our principal, Mr. G. has created a program called Math Night where the students and their parents can come to the school in the evening and do math problems, this way the parents are learning with the kids at the same time. Mr. G. & some parent volunteers put this on every last Thursday of the month. To me, that is total dedication!! I feel very lucky that we have these teachers and staff at our school.
