South Elementary School

South is great! I love the teachers here. They are very nice. What I don't like about it is that I don't get home until 5:00! It's an hour bus ride. The lunch is bad but overall it's a good experience.

We love South! Most staff and teachers are seasoned and have been in the school for many years (my kindergarten teacher was my sons kindergarten teacher!) The PALs and Title 1 programs are great for kids who need extra help. As a long time resident of PG, I think South is one of the best in our county. The school is always clean, smiling staff, and happy kids :)

There is no Discipline in the school at all. The employees never go above and beyond for the kids at all. The food is horrible and not worth the money. They serve the kids on Styrofoam trays and they eat with plastic ware. The lunch room staff is very uncaring and rude. There has been water and sewage issues for the last few months and the kids are unable to use the restroom unless the adults deem it a dire emergency. My daughter (in kindergarten) has come home in wet pant due to having an accident because they would not allow her to go to the restroom. All they care about is SOL test scores, not about the students.

We just moved here from California three months ago cause my husband got stationed here at fort lee. I was I little nervous to send my daughter to a new school wasn't sure how they did things . This school is amazing they are so into helping the children get where they need to be in learning. They offer free tutoring for the kids and this is great for children that need the extra help. I am completely satisfied with this school. My daughter has a great teacher that cares.
