South, now known as bellizzi middle is a great school,a school that makes the children feel at home,safe and loved.Bellizzi dedicates time to listen to the children regardless of race a school with no discrimination.A school that makes children feel in family because that is what bellizzi is family. I would give it a 10 for the dedication and concern of making sure that every child learn, also the multi activities it has, and the afterschool program. A good school to put your children in. This school is also under survellience camera so your child be safe at all time.
