Valley Stream South High School Reviews
Rating 3.75 out of 5 204 reviews
Valley Stream South is an incredibly diverse school with students of every race, ethnicity and religion. It is rich in culture. If I could change one aspect it would be to increase school spirit. Encourage more students and alumni to show up to events and games.
South High School is a highly academically successful school due in part to passionate teachers and fellow student tutors striving for educational integrity. It features many opportunities to find interests due to the vast number of clubs and activities, as well as electives and sports. South's recent administrative change has proved successful as of this midterm review. The culture remains to be vibrant but may require some refinement as a new generation enters the South community.
My experience with Valley Stream South High School has been a good 4 and 1/2 years there. When I came to South in 7th grade, I was definitely scared because it was something new for me and the school was really big. Covid hit that year and I had to go remotely and I felt like my experience was gone because I wouldn't be going class to class anymore and I wasn't really talking to my friends as much as I would when I was in school. When school started to open back up it felt like 7th grade all over again because I was now coming back into the school and we had to start wearing masks and stay a certain distance from everyone. It was a big change for me and it felt different, but I was glad to be back in school and see all my friends and teachers. Valley Stream South has definitely helped me become the person I am today because it taught me independence and it showed me how I could survive when I attend college. College will be a one up on high school but I am definitely confident now.
