South Philadelphia High School Reviews
Rating 3.5 out of 5 96 reviews
Overall my experience at my school has been full of great experiences and opportunities. I've accomplished many important awards and honor rolls during my school years there. The teachers I've had, have been supportive when needed.
The best parts of my experience at South Philadelphia high school was, the teachers. The teachers were all amazing I got along well with all of them. They made me excited to attend school every and be prepared ready to learn. While my bad experience unfortunately were the students. I felt there was bullying problem going around the school that wasn’t fully addressed and resolved. I felt there should’ve been more discipline actions towards certain students as well. My experience at South Philadelphia high school, wasn’t fully bad. I had good moments however, I feel they’re things involving the school they need to improve on.
It was a good school for kids who don’t enjoy or focus in regular school. I enjoyed it cause I only have to go for 3 hours out of the day. It was hard for me to focus in school after getting left back, but South Philadelphia High school made a way for me. I thank them for that!
