Southern School of Energy and Sustainability

Above and beyond. I have had two daughters to graduate different years from Southern. This school set the foundation for my oldest daughter to recieve her Bachelors and Masters degree from NCSU. And my second daughter is on her way to UNCG in the fall...this speaks to the excellence staff and culture at Southern High School.

I used to go to this school and got withdrawal the first month.. this school is awful for one. the teachers are lazy, the students are lazy and dont care. The school was orginally gunna get shut down by the state until they changed the name and decided to call it a magnet school.. its not a magnet school and they do not have any magnet school programs. They fool you when youre enrolling giving you a packet stating how you have to choose from these 4 different schools but when you get it into it, its just another regular highschool with regular highschool classes. If youre coming from a generally nice clean town, where everyone is friendly and you went to a majority of a white school... you'll have a very rough time here, i came from a white school & the majority of this school is black. I was not greeted or welcomed, i cried the first day of school during lunch in the bathroom i had no one to sit with.. and i had no friends. nobody makes an effort to get to know the new kid here, their all about their cliques and drugs. The graduation rate is so low, teachers have to put in a 60 for a student who does no work. Awful school. Please send your child somewhere else.
