Southport High School

I have one son that has graduated and one that is currently attending. I have found perry schools at the elementary level great. The 6th grade academies are ok, as well as the middle school. Then watch out because then comes high school. The staff is not about the kids oblye about the rules being followed. The students cannot chafe classes as it is too much. To much what?.? Hugh universities let students change their classes in a drop/add session. They have a silly rule that if you are never tardy you can drop a test final. It's ok to be absent- just not tardy. My son has had to miss the entire day instead of going in late because he doesn't want to give up his chance to get out of a final. There is something backwards about this idea. How about the best grades get you out of the final or if you don't miss more than 3 days/ or tardies. I have heard that kids carry weapons. We have a 3 star level. That is comparable to ips schools. All the townships around us have 6-9 stars. Why us there such a change from the middle school to high school? I know our population may account for some test scores discrepancies but the next closest school is 3 stars higher.

Cliques are NOT a majority here and they don't favor athletes and sports.(FYI im not an athlete)The athletes have to keep up they're grades or they're suspended from the team until they're grades go back up. Education comes first here, not the other way around. The staff cares just fine about the students here. I like going here and i wouldn't want to go anywhere else. I see new students go from being lonely the first day to knowing 20 people by the second. The school is just fine. -Junior

I also really believe it is up to the child as far as education. A very good school, a little prejudice and when it comes to sports they play favorites. Good luck and be strong to anyone going.

im a sophmore here. What can I say about southport? Cliques are a majority here, and if your child can't fit in with one group, then they're going to have a hard time at school finding friends. Teachers are favorable to a group of kids. Deans don't care at all. Highly unsatisfactory school and needs to rethink how things are done.

Im a current junior at Southport and I believe that most of the staff believe that sportd are the main reason for going to school. Homework is passed up for lettermen jackets. Im on a publication team at southport and certain teachers favor cliques. Unless you have a child who can play baseball, basketball, or football dont bother sending them here.

Southport treats athletes above the rest of the student body. A football player can do an offense that would regularly land him in jail, and he gets off without even a suspension. Overall, not the best school. Instead of the bullies getting punished, the victims take all the blame.

My son is a junior this year at Southport High School, he began attending Southport his freshman year after moving from Lawrence Township schools. Since going to Southport my son has gone from a D average student to an honor role student consistently for the last two years and is participating in many activities such as Marching Band, Robotics Club, Winter Drumline as well as a trainer for the baseball team.. Southport offers so many options for him to become involved with many different activities he doesn't have time to get into any trouble. At the Lawrence schools he was struggling to find his place. Southport is a wonderful school with great teachers who care and the Marching Band Program to me is spectacular! I would highly recommend Southport to anyone who may be considering a move to the district.
