This school just keeps getting better and better. The buildings are so nice and the teachers are amazing. I have never seen such dedication and love for students. My son has loved his teacher every year. I love Southern Hills and the PTA just keeps getting better! Go Cardinals!!!

My kids really love this school. The teachers are really nice and seem concerned about the kids. My kids have been in this school for three years and I can't say enough good things about it.

I wish this school would communicate better, my daughter was in kindergarten and we had talked to the teacher and principal several times about getting her into first grade, they said she was at a second grade reading level, plus she could spell and write pretty well. No one did anything and my phone calls just started being ignored.

The one thing that this school needs to work on is watching the children better when they are being picked up. I went to pick up my daughter one day and she wasn't there(my sister had picked her up) and noone in the office could tell me where she was or who she had left with. I believe that they should be paying a lot more attention to those sorts of things!
