Southside Community School

It seems odd to me that most of these entries read like they are written by staff members. In fact, the most recent entry prior to this one is identified as written by a teacher, and yet the grammar is appalling. I'm certain I don't want my students to attend a school where even the teachers seem to be lacking in literacy skills.

we are actually a pre-k through 9th grade charter school now. we offer a free pre-k program to prepare students for kindergarten, free breakfast before school, and a free after-school program with snacks until 5:30 PM. we really care about our students and want to offer them all the resources they need to succeed. because we provide so many free services at our own expense, $20,000 would really help us in our endeavors to continue providing important resources for parents and students. thank you for your consideration!

I went to SCS in 7th & 8th grade. Before that I lived in Mexico. When 7th grade was over I noticed that my english language progressed a lot! In 8th grade I was able to write anything in english & translate long spanish poems into english & also perform them!. SCS has such great teachers, counselor, & just all the staff members are awesome. Southside gave me a lot of opportunities & my days there were never boring; it has many, many clubs where everyone can participate & enjoy them. I am sure that no kid would regret attending Southside Community School.

SCS offers many free programs for parents such as after-school care and mariachi lessons. The school is in the process of opening up a free preschool. We are also working to develop a parent-teacher association.

This is a great school. There are few schools that enhance student achievement in such a profound way. Teachers are sincerely interested in students.

My kids loved the middle school summer program. They went on three trips, to a cave, a water recycle place and bowling. They all went to summer school even though it was not required because they love science. The science teacher here is a little strange, but they like him the best and he has really turned them on to science! The math teacher for summer school was great. There regular math teacher not so much.

Overall i think this school is great. Two of my children go there and enjoy it. The teachers are very talented and have good teaching degrees. The after-school activities are great and the tutoring is helpful for those who need it. The teachers, principal and Superintendant are very involved in everything and everyone knows everyone. Not a lot of parents are involved but I am, some use the after-school programs as daycare which I don't my children want to learn new things which I like.
