South Hills Elementary School

I know of 2 different instances where boys touched girls and it was ignored. One boy was excused for doing this because his parents were not supportive. The other boy was not punished because he was "special".

South Hills Elementary has consistently received Recognized status from the state of Texas. The current principal is a great leader who deals fairly with students, teachers and staff. Despite being a very large urban school, parents and students have great affinity for South Hills Elementary. Two years ago, when the school district intended to redraw attendance boundaries, there was a great outcry from students/parents who were being transferred elsewhere. They protested and, thankfully, were allowed to stay in the South Hills Elementary community. I think this speaks highly for the overall atmosphere of the school.

I started attending South Hills Elementary as a third grader the year it opened. I have fond memories, and not so fond memories of the school then.

I went here from 3rd-5th grade. I had a blast. When I arrived I was just the nerdy white kid but it ended up being the best few years of my life. The school's teachers all speak English and Spanish. They did some benchmarks there but it wasn't the main thing. And as for "Dumbing down the curriculum" that is not a problem. I now go to HSA and am in high school and I've never had any problem with keeping up. In fact I take some classes higher up than my classmates.
