South Stanly High School

South Stanly is by far the best in the county in my opinion, the teachers are very dedicated and helpful in most cases and the principal (who sadly has a bad reputation among much of the student body) shows, at least to me, excellent leadership ability. Because he chooses to maintain a casual atmosphere (one in which students do not feel oppressed by the administration) there is very little in the way of discipline issues as compared to other schools. this is something that very rarely happens in schools as all too many administrators fail to grasp the adage that one should not hold on too tightly, because what they are trying to control could slip through their fingers

School lacks competent leadership. The administration barely recognizes the band and chorus- there are almost no funds for these electives. They don't have enough teachers to teach classes necessary for graduation.Students can't take all the classes they want to take because they are all scheduled in the same time blocks- because of the lack of teachers.

I think that South Stanly High School is one of the best schools in the county. The only problem I have is that the administration is not fair when it comes to certain rules. The rules should be enforced on all students no matter who they are. Other than that I think that South ranks number one in the county.

I think discipline is generally lax and is unevenly enforced. I think the administration settles for mediocrity in academics and extracurricular activities. The leadership is below par, however there are some excellent teachers that strive to make a positive difference in the students' lives. There is a lot of potential here, but so far I don't see the potential being realized.
