this is an excellent, well funded school. which makes a HUGE difference in the level of education. I'm so impressed with this school as well as the fact that it is a respected school in our community.
i went to this school last year and i hated it! i needed some extra tutoring or a class to help me out since i was so far behind. the counselor told me they had no classes like that for me because i was not a freshman. i felt very out of place there and the other students could be very harsh. i felt like the teachers were not interested in me because my level was not where all the other students in my class was. if your a student coming to the school in the middle of a year it may be hard on you as for me.
I am a freshmen at this school, I am average person, not rich or poor, and this is a great school, The Freshmen Mentoring Program is a great tool for aiding freshmen such as myself, the teachers are attentive, interactive, and, assisting to all of their students. Cliques are no worse than friends talking in the hallways. Upper class men don't i repeat DON'T harass lower class men. Race issues are limited to what I have seen so far. Some fights have broken out but nothing on even a monthly basis.
I think this is the BEST school my child has been to. I see nothing but care and concern for the kids here. There is a lot of pride at this school too. I will struggle to keep my child in this school.
I was a student at PHS, and I loved it. I was a freshman. I say, that' the best school ever. I'm mad I have to move. PHS ATW!!!!!!
My kid loves it there, and I love the school also!
I'm a sophomore at South and I love it. Yeah, there are cliques, but there are cliques everywhere. The school may not provide tutoring for families with less money than average, but there are other places. Teachers here are amazing about letting kids come in before or after school or during tutorial. The classes are a challenge, the extracurriculars are fun, and if you want to be left out, you have to make a grand attempt. Go Panthers! :]
Park Hill South is an excellent school where the faculty and student body are both great. Compared to our rival school, the faculty and teachers are more up to par at South than they are at Park Hill, especially in the areas of Language Arts and Math. When I came to South at the end of my freshman year, I couldn't believe the differences the two high schools had. I am very thankful that I switched schools and would recommend this school as a true representation of the the calibre that the Park Hill District has made for itself.
As a senior, I love this school because it is unique. I have traveled around and I have even been to Park Hill High and I will say that PHS is so much better!
I believe the school provides a good enviroment for the students and ample opportunity for us to learn and grow as individuals, but the administration and teachers need to get on the same track. Meaning even the teachers have expressed issues with choices that the admistration as made and for the students to hear that is never good. I am not saying that the teachers should stop expressing their opionons; I'm saying the administration should start listening to them. Also i think that the leaders of the school are WAY to concerned with being 'politically correct' and this henders the students chance of having a good experience at South. II understand its neccesary to be cautious as an administrator about the things you allow but I also think that Souths students shouldn't be pushed to be 'politically correct' themselves. We are all different and ALL should be encouraged to show that.
