I would not recommend Southwood high school because this school does not let their students go to the bathroom barely have 5 minute to get to where the students need to be . Students cannot switch their electives at all and can't go to the bathroom at l still these teachers are rude and wont let us go to the bathroom just because they do not like their own students .

My child had a great experience during the 2016-2017 school year. This was our first year at SHS. Mr. Roberts is a great principal that loves his kids. He demands respect and receives it. He has brought the school grade from an F all the way to a B and working on getting an A in the short time that he has been Principal. I am proud to say that my son attends Southwood High School.

Reported to the staff last year about a student who sexually harrassed other students, no discipline to the student because he was a basketball player. Got kicked out of this school because of getting attacked by another student and discriminates against lgbt students. Staff and principal are not caring nor do their job. The students are out of control.

I'm a freshmen at Southwood and I absolutely love it here. The teachers will go above and beyond to help you learn and they really are there for your education. I will graduate with 36 college credits and so many other things due to their amazing Biotech program. Southwood really is the place to go if you want to get a quality education.

This the worst school!!! The principal and staff only care about sports not the students. Wish this school wasn't in my district. This school needs a better principal and staff.

I graduated from Southwood in 2001. I have a daughter who is currently a freshman there. I just wanted to point out that, while some of the students' reviews below are embarrassing with grammatical errors (please, proof-read and spell check when writing a positive review for your SCHOOL), I received a quality education at SHS. That was several years ago and a lot has changed, but the new principal has them on the right track. My daughter has had a good experience so far, and I'm proud that she's attending my alma mater.

I am now a senior at Southwood highschool. Being a freshman at Southwood highschool was not the best experience for me. The students were very disrespectful, and the teachers got ran over. When the school switched to the new principal, Mr.Roberts, everything changed. Southwood now gives you a quality education, which is very good, and a very big improvement. I am not the smartest, but Southwood has helped shaped me into who I am today, a well-educated aspiring neonatal nurse. My friends always compliment my knowledge, and they also compliment my writing, and my widespread vocabulary, which I would also like to thank Walnut Hill Elementary Middle School for. I'm proud to be a cowboy, and I love to tell people, that this year, IM A GRADUATED SOUTHWOOD STUDENT AND IM PRPUD!
